In a search for something to do with my browning bananas yesterday, I came across this recipe at Sally's Baking Addiction. The thing I love about her site is she takes some of the most unhealthy comfort foods, and makes them fit into a healthier lifestyle, so I can feel better about eating stuff like this when I get the craving. These sounded perfect. They use no butter or oil, so they are "healthier" than other variations. The only alteration I made was substituting peanut butter chips in place of the chocolate chips, and oh my- am I glad I did! They brought these to a whole other level of yum. My kids have been gushing on them while they devour them.

Ingredients:
3 large bananas
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup applesauce
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup peanut butter chips (or chocolate chips)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake papers.
In a large bowl, mash bananas completely- no large lumps. Stir in sugar, egg, and applesauce.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Make sure to sift the cocoa so you do not get clumps.
Stir flour mix into wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in chips. Batter will be chunky.
Spoon into prepared muffin tins. These do not really "puff" up, so go ahead and fill them all the way up. If desired, sprinkle more chips on top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until done in the center. Cool completely.
