Breakfast Muffins

This is my FAVORITE muffin recipe!! My Aunt Chris shared it with me earlier this year, and we make them all the time!

Muffins - this recipe makes 12 muffins

1 egg
1 1/3 cups mashed banana
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup blueberries

Pre-heat oven to 375. Combine egg, banana, brown sugar, apple sauce and vanilla. Mix well. Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and oats. Mix well. Stir in blueberries.

Lightly spray a muffin pan, or use muffin papers. Fill 3/4 full and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool - enjoy

Additional Ideas for this recipe:

I use whole wheat flour in mine. It makes them a bit heartier and more filling. Instead of blueberries, try one of the following ideas: apricots, craisins, or nuts!

Optional Crumble Topping

2 tbsp. melted butter
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. ground flax seed
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix all ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of muffins before you bake them.
