Banana Muffin Goodness.

I’ve been living in my new apartment for a little over a week now and I happen to be falling in love with the beautiful & spacious kitchen. The counter top space is glorious and the shelving is even more magnificent. Silly, I know. But this kitchen is my new friend.
Saturday afternoon was spent on the cold and icy mountain, followed by brews at a local pub. And Sunday? Sunday was all about the muffins.

Banana Oat Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• a dash of cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2/3 cup apple sauce (substitute for vegetable oil)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed bananas (a little extra goes a long way)

Directions

1. Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg lightly. Stir in the milk, apple sauce, and vanilla. Add the mashed banana, and combine thoroughly. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper bake cups, and divide the batter among them.
3. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top of muffins.
4. Bake at 400 degrees F  for 18 to 20 minutes.
5. Serve warm with a nice tab of butter. ENJOY!
