Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Muffins

These muffins are SO yummy and with no butter or oil, it feels oh so good to indulge in one or a few in my case :). My family has been having these muffins for breakfast everyday this week and they are loving them. The muffins pair perfectly with a smoothie for a breakfast that will really help you jump start your day.

Yield: 18 muffins

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons apple sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed banana ( about 3 bananas)
6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 cup buttermilk


Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 350F. Line 18 muffin cups with liners.

2.In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir together with a fork to blend.

3.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, banana, peanut butter and buttermilk until smooth. 

4.Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix just until incorporated and fully blended.

5.Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
