Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Mashed ripe banana
• 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground flaxseed until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, stir together the applesauce, mashed banana, honey or maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly thick.

Step 5

If using raisins or chopped nuts, fold them gently into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
