Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
