Chocolate Banana Fudge Muffins (Vegan)

These were a perfect dessert tonight... Delicious chocolate with healthy banana, low fat and low sugar.  Doesn't get much better than that!

Ingredients:

• 3 large bananas, mashed
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 TB ground flax
• 3 TB water
• 1/3 cup homemade applesauce
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cacao powder (or cocoa)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping if desired

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin tin with baking cups. 
• In a bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugar, flax, water and applesauce.
• Sift the flour, cacao powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder into the wet ingredients. 
• Lightly mix to combine. Fold in chocolate chips. The batter will be chunky.
• Divide the batter between muffin cups (12-18 depending on how full you make them). 
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. 
• Allow muffins to cool for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
