Banana Muffins

Buschs had really ripe bananas on sale for baking. This worked out perfectly, as I've been wanting to make some banana muffins. These muffins aren't very dense or overly sweet and have a very hardy flavor and texture. They also freeze well.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup Banilla (or Vanana) yogurt
  • 2 cups of white flour
  • 2 cups of wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar <- okay so this probably not enough
  • 1/2 cup pea, potato and spirulina protein powder (it is almost tasteless so it's good to cook with, tastes almost like apple if anything)
Simply combine the ingredients and bake at 350° F until the center is cooked. This made a little more than 18 muffins.

Edit: They game out good, but there was something a little off about them...Stephanie said they needed more sugar...the batter was pretty sweet when I tasted it, but it seems as though this sweetness was not enough when cooked.

When things bake, they lose some sweetness. Did you try using honey?

I had thought about putting in honey, but I forgot. They didn't taste bad at all, just could use a little more sugar.
