Have I convinced you to give these muffins a try? I hope so! It’s also a wonderful recipe for meal prepping breakfast for the week ahead. Once I’ve had my share of freshly-baked muffins, I wrap the cooled ones individually wrapped in plastic and place them in a resealable bag and freeze them
Whenever I need a quick bite, I microwave the muffins for 1 minute, and they are hot and tasty, just like the day I made them! What is your favorite muffin flavor? Other than these banana chocolate chip muffins, of course.
How to reduce fat in baked goods
If you’re looking to cut back on the added fat in baked goods, unsweetened applesauce is a healthy substitute. For quick bread-like muffins and cake, replacing oil would be a 1:1 swap with little change to texture and bake time. If replacing butter, remove only half of the butter as the texture will change more than with oil. Recipes using applesauce tend to have less browning, which may result in overbaking. Just make sure to keep an eye on the appearance, use a toothpick to see if it comes out clean from the cake to test for doneness, or you can use an instant-read thermometer to check if the internal temperature reaches 210°F.
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Banana chocolate chip muffins are loaded with healthier ingredients in each serving. The batter combines whole wheat flour, yogurt, chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips.
