Banana Bread Muffins

I love the way our house smells when I bake up a batch of these!  By using part whole wheat flour and eliminating the oil, this is a healthier twist on a classic comfort food.   

 Ingredients:

• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup flax meal
• ½ cup all purpose flour
• ½ cup sweetener
• 3 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3 mashed ripe bananas (about 1 cup)
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers.

Combine dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients.  Combine the two mixes, stirring until just combined. Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

These muffins should be kept in the refrigerator and will keep for 3-4 days.
