Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Take 2

Really... why even have a "Take 2" of an already delicious Banana Chocolate Chip muffin recipe?  Why mess with heavenly goodness?

Calories.
I'm back to the dieting/exercise phase in my life... 10 pounds off before I hit the road for a summer road trip in the end of June.  So that means none of those butter, oil and egg filled delectable muffins... and you know what?  I don't really miss them!

Here is a great recipe for low fat and low calorie muffins (only about 70 calories in each muffin, so you can eat two and not feel guilty!!).

Ingredients:
3 lg overripe bananas
1/8c non-fat milk
1/2c unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
3 tbsp mini semi sweet chocolate chips
1c rolled oats
1c AP flour
1tbsp baking powder

Throw it all in a bowl and mix (but again, don't overmix), then divide into 18 muffins.  Bake at 400F for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.  These muffins are a great on-the-go breakfast item.  Just toss them in pairs into the freezer, pull them out each morning when you get up and either toast them in a toaster over, or just let them defrost and eat when you are ready!  Enjoy!
