Source (altered by me, based on suggestions made in the comments on the original recipe)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour (I used whole white wheat, sifted)
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed bananas (I used 2 med-lg bananas)
Directions:
1. Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg lightly. Stir in the milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the mashed banana, and combine thoroughly.
3. Stir in the flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined. Stir in additions, if desired (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)
4. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups, and divide batter among them. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes.
Notes: After not using a bunch of bananas during our camping trip last week, then getting a new bunch in our Bountiful Basket yesterday, we're scrambling to use up the yellow fruit before they all turn too ripe. I wanted a healthy muffin recipe for breakfast this morning and found this after a quick google search. What a lucky find! Easy to whip up, not too sweet (like banana bread), and very healthy and hearty. Upon the request of my sweet-toothed husband, I added some chocolate chips (which was delicious!), but if I had my way, I would have added nuts instead.
