More Baking (with Bananas, Baby!)

Jeez louise, I have been doing a lot of baking lately! Just call me Martha, but in addition to making a sweet little treat for my realtor, I wanted to make something for my new neighbors as well. I figured it's my own little preemptive ice breaker, like, "Don't hate me and steal my garbage cans, I brought baked goods!" type of thing. :) So...I concocted another lovely little recipe with some unfortunately/fortunately gone-by bananas.
Brown Sugar Banana Mini Muffins with Dark Chocolate Chips

• 1 c. flour


• 3/4 tsp. baking powder


• 1/4 tsp. baking soda


• 2 generous dashes cinnamon


• 1 tsp. vanilla
  


• 1 egg


• 1 large over ripe banana


• 1/3 c. brown sugar


• 1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce


• 1/4 c. dark chocolate chips

Mash banana with a fork. Add egg, vanilla, sugar and applesauce. Mix in dry ingredients until just moistened and then stir in chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-minutes. Makes about 24 mini muffins.

Check out this little bit of banana caramel goodness... Mmm...chocolaty.
