Blueberry-Lemon Muffins

Directions

Ingredients :

2 medium ripe bananas

mashed

¾ cup packed brown sugar

⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 large egg

lightly beaten

1 teaspoon lemon extract

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 ¼ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 cup quick-cooking oats

1 cup fresh blueberries

Methods :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups.

Stir together bananas, brown sugar, applesauce, egg, and lemon extract in a large bowl. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, and baking soda in another bowl.

Add flour mixture and oats to banana mixture; gently stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in blueberries. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove muffins from pan, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
