We made these muffins for a snack for Evan – I modified the original recipe to make it a bit healthier, plus he needed the extra fibre from the wheat bran to make the bathroom experience a little easier! 😉

Description:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 bananas, mashed
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat bran
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chooped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degF.
2. Grease a muffin pan or line with paper muffin liners. (We use the mini-muffin tins for a bite size snack)
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream applesauce & brown sugar together until fluffy. Add bananas, milk, vanilla and egg; mix well. Stir in flour, bran, baking powder, soda & salt; blend just until moistened. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes (a bit less if using mini-muffins) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in the cups for 5 minutes, then remove muffins and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
