Cocoa Banana Muffins

cocoa-banana-muffin

This is probably one of the most often used recipes in my household. We always seem to have bananas that are ripening too fast, and of course every recipe is better when you turn it into a chocolate one!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup applesauce (or substitute vegetable oil)
1 egg
1 cup sugar
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup cocoa
1-1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350F. Cream applesauce, egg, sugar and banana. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into greased muffin tins. Bake for 25 minutes. Makes 1 dozen muffins.

This is a great recipe. The muffins are very tasty, have a nice “rise”, and are heart-healthy as well (no added fat – just low-fat cocoa powder). As a bonus, it’s a one bowl recipe.

Thanks for sharing it.
