Equipment

Muffin tin
Mixing bowls (large and medium)
Measuring cups and spoons
Spoon or spatula for mixing
Fork or potato masher for bananas

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 bananas mashed
1/2 cup skim milk
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Coat muffin cups with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, mix together oats, flour, flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, combine mashed bananas, milk, egg whites, applesauce, and vanilla.
Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake for 22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tips:
Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can make muffins dense.
Toss blueberries lightly in flour to prevent them from sinking.
Perfect for breakfast on the go, snacks, or lunchboxes.
