Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Melt butter in a small microwavable bowl. Set aside to cool.
Combine self rising flour and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate large mixing bowl combine mashed bananas, applesauce, sugar, egg, vanilla, and melted butter and stir until combined.
Next, add 1/2 of the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients, stir, and then add the other 1/2 until just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX.
Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
Scoop out batter evenly into a well-sprayed muffin pan using a medium cookie scoop. Fill each muffin tin about 2/3 full.
Next mix together sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for the muffin topping.
Using a spoon lightly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over each muffin. With a toothpick, swirl throughout the top of the muffin and sprinkle with more mixture, as desired. Top with additional chocolate chips.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let your muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy your delicious banana muffins!

Notes

The original recipe used 3/4 cup sugar, but I’ve since adjusted the recipe with a lighter option to use 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup applesauce. It still tastes just as delicious and is better for you!
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months.
