Made double version. Got 18 muffins that were good size. I divided double version without addition of chocolate chips and divided it in three bolls. In one I added chocolate chips; Another coconut flakes and last raisins. Chocolate chips went first. Coconut addition was OK, more for adults; raisins went in school lunches as chocolate is not allowed. <br/>I was worried that muffins would be too heavy or overly moist, but it had a nice light texture without being crumbly. My family loved it.

These were just terrific and enjoyed both by me and my non-calorie counting family. In general, my target for baked goods is about 125 calories and 3-4 grams of fat so I made a couple of substitutions. With my very sweet overripe bananas, I was able to reduce the sugar by a tablespoon, also replaced half the oil with applesauce, used non-fat sour cream and 1/3 of the white flour for whole wheat to add a little fiber. The muffins were moist and light and tender and had lots of good flavor. I used mini chips which also help me spread the 1/4 cup of chips around the full dozen. Thanks Redsie, will cerainly make these again.
