Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins...Phew.

Now that's quite the name. I made these for a brunch and loved how they turned out. Put a little chocolate in anything healthy and kids will eat them up. I love a muffin. They are so easy to whip up and most always so yum. Bookmark this one, you'll take care of that need to bake, get rid of some ripe bananas, and kill that chocolate + peanut butter craving. Oh my. :)

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
1½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
2 tbsp. applesauce
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed banana (about 3 bananas)
6 tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1-2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir together with a fork to blend. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, banana, peanut butter and buttermilk until smooth. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated and fully blended. Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Oh baby. Enjoy!!
