Applesauce Choc. Chip Muffins

I've had a hard time getting one of my children to get up for school in the morning. The main problem seems to be that he's bored with the same ol' breakfast all the time. I am not a morning person so I'm not getting up long before the kids do in order to make a fancy breakfast. So we came up with the idea of Monday Muffin Morning. I will make muffins on Sunday night and the kids can eat them on Monday morning. Here's the recipe for my first batch of muffins.
