Recipe: Banana-Oat Muffins


These are some seriously tasty muffins.  I’ve been playing with a recipe that I found online a few years ago, and now have a delicious muffin that makes an easy breakfast or great afternoon snack.  They freeze well, too (if your children don’t eat them all immediately!).  If you prefer a banana bread instead of a muffin, just pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake it a little longer.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup applesauce
2 large eggs + 1 egg white
2 large, very ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup regular oats
1/2 cup lowfat milk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.
  • Combine brown sugar, honey, eggs, butter and applesauce.  Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix banana, oats, and milk; add this to the sugar mixture and beat well.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir with a whisk, then add to the sugar mixture.  Mix until just moist.
  • Spoon into the prepared muffin pan.
  • Bake about 20 minutes, until the muffin tops are springy.
