Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and skim milk. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins also freeze well for longer storage.
