Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large bananas
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 and ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 and ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup Yes! Apples, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use muffin liners. If using liners, grease the liners so the muffins don't stick. Set aside.
  • Place all of the ingredeints in a high powered blender or food processer, in the order listed, except for the apples. Stir in the apples. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin liners, filling almost to the top. Top with a few oats, if desired.
  • Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, while keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 10-11 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or press your finger against a muffin, if the top bounces back they are done. Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan.
  • Muffins stay fresh at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  1. Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Baked muffins, after they cool, can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Oats: Make sure that you're using old-fashioned oats. If you measure using quick oats, you'll have too much oats for the muffins. If gluten free make sure you use certified GF oats.
  3. Bananas: You want ripe bananas for this recipe.
  4. Maple Syrup: You can substitute brown sugar, coconut sugar or agave for this. Reduce the amount if you want the muffins less sweet, though they aren't very sweet.
  5. Milk: Any type of milk can be used. I've used whole milk, oat milk and almond milk.
