Directions

In a bowl, soak oats in milk and yogurt with the cinnamon, sugar and brown sugar for about one hour.

Mash two ripe bananas and combine with applesauce & egg whites.

In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ground flax seed.

Add banana mixture to the soaked oats, mix well.
Add in dry mixture and fold in walnuts.
Careful not to over mix muffin batter or muffins will come out of tough.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Spray muffin pans lightly with cooking spray.
I would suggest not using muffin papers, as they will stick to the muffin.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes.

These are absolutely delicious and very moist. I usually don't get the # of servings a muffin recipe calls for, but this makes 12 nice sized muffins. This is a new favourite for me! - 9/12/10

These are great! Used vanilla greek yougurt and added a little honey for extra sweet. Turned out great! - 9/26/11

Tasty, healthy treat! I substituted quick oats and soy milk, and used oil (no applesauce on hand). The muffins were very moist and flavorful - co-workers loved them. - 1/10/11

Made these for a Christmas brunch at my home. Chock full of goodness, and tasty to boot. I added blueberries to the mix, and used canola oil instead of applesauce (didn't have on hand!) - 12/16/10

I skipped soaking the oats and just used quick oats which worked great. Also, I used Agave syrup instead of the sugar substitute- 1 tbsp. The cooking time listed was much to long, so check your muffins at 18 mins! Loaf bread 40-45 min. Everyone loved them, great for breakfast/afternoon snacks. - 10/21/10

This really hit the spot. Lots of nutrition and tasty too. I made it into a quick bread, 9x5 pan, and sliced for dinner. Even the kids loved this one! - 4/11/10

This recipe used up my overripe bananas. Didn't have applesauce so I peeled and cooked an apple. I love all the oats and flax that it uses. They smell divine so can't wait to try one. I'm sure they will be fabulous. - 11/3/15

These were great and so easy to make! Didn't change a thing. It will be a great breakfast on the run. Has anyone tried freezing them? - 1/2/12

left out the splenda, used quick oats and greek 2% plain yogurt - 12/29/11

Made these the other night and the whole family likes. I did not use the artificial sweetener and it was still plenty sweet - even for my 9 year old with a major sweet tooth! Will definitely be making more. This & a protein shake makes a great, easy breakfast. - 9/29/11

These muffins are great! Instead of plain yogurt I used non-fat vanilla flavored greek yogurt (all I had on hand) and they turned out great! - 7/16/11

This was a great recipe! I substituted the yogurt with light sour cream, added about 1/3 cup of white sugar, and used 2 eggs with yolk and not just the egg whites. My toddlers even love them:) - 6/27/11
