whole wheat chocolate chip banana muffins


let me tell you something, if you like chocolate then these muffins are going to send you spinning.  oh. my. goodness.  they are amazing.  healthy *enough* for breakfast, rich enough for dessert.  the perfect muffin (in my very humble opinion).

seriously, for wheat muffins made with applesauce and bananas instead of fatty oils and only one egg, you really can enjoy them without the guilt of your typical chocolate chip muffins.
