Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins

½ cup white flour                               3 large bananas, mashed

1 cup wheat flour                               1 egg

1 teaspoon baking powder                  ¼  cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda                      ½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt                                  1 tsp vanilla

¼ cup flax seed                                  ½ cup applesauce

Directions

1.   Prep Work: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat muffin pans with non-stick spray, or use paper liners.

2.   Prepare dry ingredients: Place all purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and flax seed into a sifter.

3.   Mix wet ingredients: Mash bananas in a large bowl. Whisk in an egg. Add white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and applesauce. Whisk until smooth.

4.   Sift dry ingredients and mix: Sift the dry ingredients directly into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir together until moistened.

5.    Bake in preheated oven. Bake mini muffins for 12 to 15 minutes, and large muffins for 25 to 30 minutes. Muffins will spring back when lightly tapped. (Makes 18 large muffins or 48 mini muffins).

Notes: I use a crank sifter and milled flax seed. If you use a regular sifter with flax seed that isn't super fine, you may want to sift the ingredients (excluding flax seed) in a separate bowl, then add the flax once sifted, and mix all together. Otherwise your flax seed could get trapped in the sifter.
