Deliciously chewy banana muffins. A great way to get in your steel cut oats! Deliciously chewy banana muffins. A great way to get in your steel cut oats!
Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    1 cup fat free milk
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    1 egg
    1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
    1/2 cup loose pack brown sugar
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 cup steel cut oats
    1/2 cup oatmeal
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp baking powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Line a 12-cup muffin tin and generously spray the cups with cooking spray. You can also skip the paper cups completely and just spray the tin (this is usually what I do).

In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, add lemon juice, then add milk until it reaches the 1-cup line. Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes. Congratulations, you've made buttermilk!

In a medium bowl, beat one egg. Add applesauce, mashed banana, steel cut oats, oatmeal, brown sugar, and the buttermilk. Whisk until combined.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until combined. Divide evenly between the twelve muffin cups, filling them almost to the top.

Bake for 22-25 minutes.

Notes:
Low fat buttermilk may be used as an equal substitute for the lemon juice/milk mixture, but this will change the nutrition break out.

The best bananas to use are the kind that are starting spot a little bit and are very sweet.

    Is 1/2 cup of oatmeal actually oatmeal (ground oats) or is it rolled oats? - 6/24/14

    Love these muffins! They are easy to make and delicious. I also add a few dark chocolate chips to the top. But they are delicious without them, too! - 1/26/14

    I added a handfull of mini chocolate chips and they were really good. The steel oats gave it a crunchy texture - 2/4/12
