Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Rolled oats (gluten-free if preferred)
- 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this point.
Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to fill the mini muffin cups about 3/4 full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Banana Applesauce Oatmeal Mini Muffins fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
