Banana Muffins- Easy!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup of softened butter
• 1/4 cup of applesauce (unsweetened)
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 to 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preparation:

Combine butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in mixing bowl. In separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined (do not over stir). Grease muffin tin or line with paper cups, fill 1/2 or 3/4 way and bake for 20 - 22 min. until knife inserted in the middle comes clean.

Story:

This recipe originally came from my mom. I have used less fat and added in the applesauce to replace it. You can remove the banana and chocolate then replace with crushed pineapple and shredded carrot in the same quantity and it works equally well.
