Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I am on a quest to make my recipes healthier.  With my changes, this one amounts to 111 calories per muffin.  Not bad.  It comes from recipegirl.com


banana- chocolate chip muffins

Yield: 12 regular-sized muffins
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 25 min
I like to bake these up in mini muffin cups to utilize for after-school snacks...

ingredients:

3 medium very-ripe bananas
1 large egg
1/3 cup low fat buttermilk or nonfat milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar (I cut both sugars in half)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips

directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat regular-sized muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mash bananas with fork. Whisk in egg, milk, and sugars.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet mixture and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Spoon equal amounts of batter into 12 muffin cups. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
