Monkey Muffins

This is kind of a golden recipe. My kids get so incredibly excited when I say "Lets make monkey muffins!". They have no idea that they even remotely good for you. The problem with these is that you won't want to stop eating them! Like most recipes, you can make these as healthy as you want to as bad as you want.

1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Apple Sauce
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 cup Mashed Banana
2/3 cup Peanut Butter
1 tablespoon Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup White Flour
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
Chocolate Chips

Cream together butter, apple sauce, and sugar. Then add eggs, banana, peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and mix. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes or until done.

I have added ground oatmeal, ground flax seed, grated zucchini or carrots. If you add any of those in don't substitute them for anything. I once substituted oatmeal for white flour and they were good but really dense. And the dough is not too dry if you add another cup of oatmeal or flax.
