Delicious Whole Wheat Lowfat Oatmeal Banana-Nut Chocolate Chip M

My kids hate anything whole wheat but don't know the difference with these delicious muffins. I cannot believe anything this good could be so low in calories. This is a variation of a recipe I had. I replaced the flour with whole wheat, and the softened margarine with apple sauce and reduced the amount of 1/2 cup sugar to 0 and the amount of honey from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup.
