Banana Chip Muffins

These are a nice change from the typical "sugary" banana muffin.

1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the egg, milk, oil, banana and applesauce; stir into dry ingredients until just moistened. Fold in the chips. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in tins and then remove to rack to cool. Makes 12 muffins.
