Eggless Almost Fatless Banana Nut Oatmeal Muffins



I think these are the best, I bake these muffins during the weekend and devour them during the week for breakfast, as I'm rushing out of the door. I sometimes add cranberries, raisins, and splenda to make it even healthier. You could also use whole wheat flour. The garam masala or allspice reminds me of the holidays and also adds a warm flavor during these cold months.

2 ripe bananas

1/4 cup applesauce

3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp allspice/garam masala

2 tbsp canola oil

1/4 cup milk or soy milk

1/4 cups walnuts chopped


Topping

1/4 cup walnuts chopped

2 tbsp sugar


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a six cup muffin pan with oil and dust with flour.

Mash the bananas well.

Mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and allspice.

Add the bananas, applesauce, oil and milk.

Stir add walnuts.

Pour into prepared pan.

Sprinkle chopped walnuts and sugar on top.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
