Banana Oat Muffins

These muffins are not too sweet and use up those overripe bananas you may have sitting on your counter. You can add nuts, dried cranberries (or any dried fruit of your choosing), or chocolate chips, depending on how "bad" you want to be. 

¾ cup all purpose flour

¾ cup whole wheat flour

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon molasses

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon allspice

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 egg

¾ cup milk

⅓ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mashed bananas

Juice of 1 lime

½ Granny Smith apple, cored, unpeeled, coarsely shredded

Combine flours, spices, oats, baking powder, soda, and salt.

Shred the apple, mix with the mashed banana, and lime juice. Set aside

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, sugar, oil, molasses, and vanilla. Add the mashed banana mixture, and combine thoroughly. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cups, and divide the batter among them.

Bake at 400 degrees F  for 22-25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in it comes out clean.
