Mint Chocolate Fudge Muffins will captivate your taste buds from the first scrumptious bite. These lovely muffins include bananas, applesauce and Mint Chocolate Fudge Baking Chunks. They're liking eating Andes Mints in every bite! Terrific for a weekend, company or holiday breakfast, but they're also great for tailgating parties and potlucks since each batch yields 40 servings!

Equipment

2 24-tin miniature muffin tin pans or 16 regular-sized muffin tins
1 large mixing bowl
1 medium mixing bowl
1 whisk
1 wooden spoon
measuring cups
measuring spoons
2 wire cooling racks

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk (but half-and-half is richer)
1/3 cup canola oil or avocado oil
1 cup bananas mashed (about 3 medium bananas)
1/2 cup applesauce
10 oz. bag mint chocolate fudge baking chunks or Andes Mints (I purchase these at Walmart)

Instructions

Spray 16 regular-sized muffin tins or 40 miniature muffin tins with cooking spray; set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Mash bananas on a plate with a fork; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine egg, half-and-half, oil, banana and applesauce.
Whisk until well combined and the banana is broken up into very tiny pieces.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients along with mint fudge-flavored baking chunks.
Stir just to combine.
Do not overmix the batter.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins between three-fourths and completely full.
Bake at 400° for about 18 minutes for regular sized muffins or 10-12 minutes for miniature muffins or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool muffins in pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: 16 regular-sized muffins or 40 miniature muffins.

Notes

NOTE: I purchase the mint chocolate fudge flavored baking chunks at Walmart.
