Yield: 6 muffins
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/8 cup skim milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened soymilk
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry ingredient mixture forms the base of your muffin batter, providing structure and texture.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In another large bowl, mix together the skim milk, unsweetened soymilk, applesauce, and vanilla extract. These wet ingredients add moisture and flavor to your muffins, while the applesauce acts as a nutritious substitute for eggs.
-
Incorporate bananas: Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredient mixture and combine thoroughly. The mashed bananas not only contribute natural sweetness but also lend a moist and tender texture to the muffins.
-
Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gently stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine!
-
Prepare muffin tin: Lightly grease and dust 6 muffin cups with cooking spray or line them with paper bake cups. This prevents the muffins from sticking to the pan and ensures easy removal once baked.
-
Divide the batter: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. A spoon or cookie scoop works well for this task, ensuring that each muffin receives the perfect amount of batter.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of freshly baked muffins will fill your kitchen, signaling that they’re ready to be enjoyed!
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins are best enjoyed warm, either on their own or with a dollop of yogurt or a spread of nut butter for an extra touch of flavor.
