Description

These healthier muffins sub applesauce for butter or oil, but still taste like banana splits with chocolate chips and dried cherries.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup applesauce
1 egg
3 ripe bananas, diced
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup dried cherries

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
2 Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
3 Mix applesauce and egg together in another bowl. Add applesauce mixture to the flour mixture. Stir in bananas, chocolate chips, and dried cherries.
4 Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top.
5 Bake muffins in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
