Banana Oat Muffins

If you have some overripe bananas sitting around this is a great way to put them to use. I have changed the original recipe to make it a bit more healthy.  Get creative, walnuts, almonds, raisins, apples(cubed), whatever you have around will work.  We all love these, including our teenage daughter!  Makes 12 muffins.

1 cup whole wheat, unbleached flour                          
1/4 cup packed organic brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda                                                      
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon                                                              
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup oat bran (oatmeal blended to a cup will work too)
1 egg white
1 egg                                                                            
2 Tbl coconut oil
1 cup mashed bananas (2 bananas)                              
1/2 cup plain/vanilla yogurt
1 cup nuts, chopped apples, raisins (mix and match to equal one cup)

Prepare muffin pans with liners or cooking spray, preheat oven to 400.  In a large bowl mix flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and oat bran.  Set aside.  In another bowl mix eggs, oil, bananas, applesauce, nuts.  Fold wet ingredients into flour mixture.  Spoon batter equally into muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in thee center of muffin comes out clean.
