Banana Oat Muffins
Description
The batter is made by mixing wet ingredients including egg, brown sugar, yogurt, milk, applesauce, honey, and vanilla, into which mashed bananas are stirred. Dry ingredients like whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and quick oats are folded in gently to avoid overmixing, preserving tenderness.
Portioned into muffin tins, the batter is baked first at a high temperature to rise quickly, then at a lower temperature until just set. The result is a batch of muffins with a lightly golden crust and moist, oat-studded interior.
These muffins freeze well wrapped and can be thawed at room temperature or briefly microwaved. Their wholesome ingredients make them suitable for breakfast or a snack.
