Applesauce Banana Muffins

Submitted by Madeleine

Ingredients:

4 bananas
1/2 to 2/3 cup no-sugar-added applesauce (depending on size of bananas)
4 tablespoons blended silken tofu
2/3 cup safflower oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
2-1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup uncooked old-fashioned oatmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons flax seed (optional)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray muffin tins (makes about 40-50 muffins) with cooking spray.

Blend bananas, applesauce, tofu, and oil in blender or food processor.

Mix together sugars, flours, oatmeal, powder, soda, salt, cinnamon and flax seed in a large bowl.

Add the banana mixture all at once. Mix with 10-20 quick strokes until just together; there should still be medium lumps in the batter.

Spoon batter into muffin tins (? full). Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle on top. (Make more if necessary.)

Bake 10-13 minutes for mini muffins, 15-20 minutes for large muffins. Toothpick test, remove, cool, and eat!

Comments:
You can also make a cake: For apple cake, peel, core, and dice 3 small or 2 large apples and add to batter with banana mixture, omitting oatmeal and adding ½ cup flour. Bake for 20 or so minutes until golden brown on top.

Serve muffins for breakfast or lunch with Better than Cream Cheese, margarine, jam, peanut butter...

Serve cake for dessert with soy ice cream or plain. Enjoy!
