Chocolate Banana Muffins

MUFFINS! I love my morning muffin and I love coming up with new healthy muffins. What better way to start your morning than with a chocolate muffin that is totally guilt free! Yes, you read that right. These muffins are completely guilt free (and gluten free!) and only 89 calories for one muffin! Don't mind if I do...

You will need:

• 1 cup oat flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup mashed banana, about 2 large bananas
• 1/3 cup applesauce, about 1 individual applesauce cup
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• OPTIONAL: If you want some peanut butter with your chocolate add in 1/3 cup peanut butter chips or if you need more chocolate add in 1/3 cup chocolate chips.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Line muffin tins with liners. 

Fill tins about 1/2 full to get 12 regular size muffins or fill tins 3/4 full to get 6 large muffins.

Combine oat flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.

After mixing together the dry ingredients add in all the wet ingredients and thoroughly combine.

Bake for 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick, or fork prong, and if it comes out clean the muffins are done. If not bake the muffins for an additional 3 muffins and promptly remove. The muffins will be done.
