Banana Walnut/Chocolate Chip Muffins

Again as a consequence of over-buying my produce from Costco, I had some banana's that were on their last leg of life. I figured since I was headed to a friend's cottage this weekend, these muffins would make an excellent breakfast or snack. In my indecisiveness I decided to add walnuts & chocolate chips to half of each batch. A little variety in life is always welcome! These babies are a healthier alternative and made with brown sugar and apple sauce. PERFECT!

Ingredients 

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large bananas, mashed
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar 
1 egg
1/3 cup apple sauce
Walnuts and chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. 

Combine bananas, sugar, egg, and apple sauce in a large bowl. Fold in flour mixture, and mix until smooth. Separate batter into 2 bowls and fold in desired amount of walnuts or chocolate chips. Scoop into muffin pans. 

 Bake in preheated oven. Bake mini muffins for 10 to 15 minutes, and large muffins for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped.
