Healthy Banana Muffins

 We love eating muffins for breakfast and snacks so I was anxious to give this banana recipe a try.  Banana Chocolate Chip is my go to banana recipe, but this recipe calls for the addition of raspberries and sounded too delicious to pass up.  I was also intrigued by the substitution of oils and sugars for applesauce and honey. 

The original recipe came from Sally's Baking Addiction

and I made a few changes:

1 1/4 flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1/8 c honey
1/4 c brown sugar
1 ripe, mashed banana
1/8 c cinnamon apple sauce
1 egg
1/4 c milk
1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c frozen raspberries

Combine honey and sugar.  Add in the remaining wet ingredients.  Add in dry ingredients and then fold in chocolate chips and raspberries at the end.  Save a few chocolate chips to add to the tops of the muffins for looks.

Recipe makes one mini muffin tin full of muffins.
Bake at 325 for 15-16 minutes

These muffins were tasty and a nice break from the ordinary.

They seemed perfectly festive to make for Valentine's week.

My whole family enjoyed them.

The raspberries were a fun pop of flavor and the muffins had a good consistency.

They were best the first day I made them and should be eaten right away.
