Banana Oatmeal Muffins - YUM!!!

I found a blueberry muffin recipe, tweaked it, and made it my own. It is DELICIOUS! You can use blueberries or bananas... I just have a picky 3 year old that flipped out when he saw the "berries". I loved both! Enjoy!!!

Whole Wheat Banana Oatmeal Muffins
Makes 12 muffins

Any oats will work, but use old fashioned or steel cut oats for a heartier texture. Made with whole grains and very little fat, these muffins are a guilt free breakfast treat! Go ahead, eat a second one – they’re good for you :)

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 large banana, mashed OR
3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease your pan (I used paper liners).

In a large bowl whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Combine applesauce, buttermilk, honey, oil and egg in a medium bowl. Make a well in dry ingredients and add applesauce mixture, stirring until just moist. (Don’t over mix them! The batter will be thicker than your average muffin batter.) Add banana or carefully fold in blueberries.
Spoon the batter into muffin cups. Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes.

Makes a great breakfast item when you're on the go, or as a dessert! Enjoy!
