CHOCOLATE

Oh Muffins! I must say that I have not always been a fan of muffins…weird? Yes. But that has all changed, and I can thank a lot of that to these little muffins right here… AND the fact that there is no oil, (which for me makes them kind of guiltless right??) yay! I tried some different things and added some crumble and came up with the final product, so let me introduce you to the….

 

NO OIL Chocolate Banana Muffins with Peanut Crumble


Muffins
3 cups flour
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup baking cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 2/3 cups mashed ripe banana
2/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 eggs

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Combine the first 7 dry ingredients. Mix together and make a well in the middle of the mixture. Then in a separate bowl mix together bananas, apple sauce, and eggs (make sure the bananas are really mixed well, not big lumps). Pour the banana mixture into the well in the dry mixture. Hand mix everything together until completely combined.

now for the…Crumble Top (my favorite part!)
this is kind of something you can play with…but here is a guideline

4 Tblsp Butter
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup crushed salted peanuts
1/2 brown sugar

Melt butter. Then add in brown sugar. Stir and pour in the oats and peanuts. Mix together. Make sure that the crumble is really coated in the sugar and butter, if not add a little more of each, making it just right.
Grease the muffin tins with butter. Place batter in each muffin tin a little more than half way. Sprinkle with a generous tablespoon of crumble; press gently into batter so the topping will stick. Bake for around 20-25 min or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Let cool for about 10 min then…EAT!
