Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tsp baking powder
- 1 Tsp baking soda
- 1 Tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk (I used 1% but I imagine any milk will do)
- 1 Tsp vinegar
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/2-1 cup mix ins of your choice (raisins, walnuts, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, pecans)
Note
I think these muffins are fantastic as is, but I've also made them with raisins, chocolate chips, and walnuts and all are delicious. They freeze really well and are a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack option.
Directions
| 1. | Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 12-count muffin pan with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners. Mix milk and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside. |
| 2. | In a large bowl combine both flours, oatmeal, flaxseed, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. |
| 3. | In a small bowl combine the mashed banana, egg, applesauce, molasses, and milk mixture. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined. If you are adding any mix-ins, add them here and stir again until evenly distributed. |
| 4. | Divide mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups and bake for about 17-18 minutes. Remove and let cool or devour warm if you just can't wait! |
