Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups multigrain toasted oat cereal (such as Cheerios®)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mashed bananas
2/3 cup skim milk
2 egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 standard muffin cups with cooking spray.
2 Place cereal in a resealable plastic bag. Crush slightly with a rolling pin to make 1 1/2 cups.
3 Mix crushed cereal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in mashed bananas, milk, egg whites, applesauce, raisins, and chocolate chips until batter is just moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes in the pan before removing to a cooling rack. Serve warm if desired.
