Whole Wheat Banana Fiber Muffins

Don't let the title of these delicious and nutritious muffins scare you. The combination of the whole wheat and cinnamon makes them absolutely delectable.  Fiber is crucial to any diet because it maintains healthy bowel movements and aids in achieving a healthy weight. High-fiber foods require more chewing time and can make you feel full longer. Also, in vegan baking, applesauce can be substituted for eggs.

Here's the homemade recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium super-ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup of unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup of butter or butter substitute
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup of Benefiber powder
• 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flower
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• oatmeal (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease muffin tin or line with liners. In one bowl, mix mashed bananas, applesauce, egg, sugar, oil, and fiber powder. In second bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt., cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Spoon evenly into muffin tins. Top with a dash of oatmeal and bake for 18 minutes.
