Ingredients

    ngredients:
    - 2 cups whole wheat flour

    - 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
    - 2 tsp baking powder
    - 1 tsp baking soda
    - 1/2 tsp salt

    - 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
    - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    - 1 cup mashed bananas (2-3 bananas)
    [Note: Can add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) -- I didn't b/c my people don't like nuts in their muffins/brownies, etc.]
    Preheat oven to 400*

    Directions:
    - Using a whisk, combine all dry ingredients in one bowl: whole wheat and AP flour, sugar, baking soda and powder, salt, nuts, spices).
    - Beat the egg lightly in a separate bowl. Whisk in milk, applesauce, vanilla to the eggs.
    - Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold bananas in.
    - Divide the batter among a greased or paper-lined muffin tin (I used silicone muffin cups)
    - Bake for about 18 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

    Yield:
    - Makes 20 muffins (1/4 cup batter p/muffin)

    18 minutes wayyy to long, i took mine out at 15 and they were perfect! I also used honey instead and added some choco chips. I pureed an apple instead of applesauce. So yummy! Also added flax and wheat bran for some extra fiber! Also added a little extra virgin olive oil in the batter so no sticking - 3/6/11

    Bad
    Seriously, I do not know what I did wrong! Am I missing part of the recipe or something? My muffins tasted great, but they were complete mush.. It seems like I am missing some dry ingredients. Hmmm.. They basically looked like the inside of a buttertart. Any clue what did I do wrong?! - 11/20/12

Brushed a little butter on top of each one when done - 11/11/12

    Incredible!
    Very Good! I also used flax seed. I replaced the molasses with honey as well. Based on other comments, I sprayed muffin tins with butter flavor cooking spray and reduced baking time to 15 minutes. They popped out easily and perfect! - 11/6/11
