Muffins
- 1 cup apple cinnamon granola cereal (I used Zoe's)
- 2 large bananas, mashed (this is 1 cup of puree)
- 1⁄2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
- 1⁄4 cup oil

directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray either 6 large muffin baking cup pan or 12 small muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Make the topping, combine flour, cinnamon and sugar, cutting in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cereal, banana puree and applesauce.
- Set aside for 5 minutes, or until cereal is softened.
- Once cereal is soft, add the oil and vanilla.
- Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture, stirring until combined, you will need to add the banana yogurt to make it not such a stiff dough.
- Divide the mixture to muffin cups evenly.
- Sprinkle the muffins evenly with the topping.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Place on cooling rack, cover with a tea towel for 5 minutes.
- After the five minutes, run a butter knife around the muffins, then remove very carefully, they are very soft and delicate.
- Cool completely, place in tupperware lined with a paper towel.
- Freeze after 1-2 days, wrapped in plastic wrap.

I am a vegetarian and I love to cook. I have been trying to incorporate whole wheat into my baked goods and have been eating much healthier foods. I really don't have a favorite cookbook, I mainly try different recipes out on the internet.
