Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 medium Ripe banana (mashed)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
