By Summer,
I love making mini of anything! People seem to eat more. I think it’s psychological like they didn’t eat that much by just having one. “I just had one small muffin (or cookie). I can have another … and another … and another.” That means I have a lot less leftover, if anything at all. Then I don’t have to eat it; as you know I’m doing the 60 Day SlimDown and I need the extra pounds gone.
I personally LOVE this recipe because it’s not that bad for you; check out the ingredients:
WARE
medium mixing bowl
mixing spoon
mini muffin tin – I recommend getting a commercial size tin (measure your oven first); this is on my “get” list.
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cup wheat flour
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup ground flaxseed
½ cup quick oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter, room temperature or melted
¾ cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup all natural Organic Tree Top apple sauce
2-3 mashed ripe Organic Chiquita bananas
optional – ½ bag mini chocolate chips
optional – ¼ cup coconut, sweetened or unsweetened as desired
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350oF (175oC). Lightly grease muffin tin.
2. In mixing bowl, combine all ingredients stirring until moisten. Fill greased tin cups ¾ full.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Pull out of tin and allow to cool.
TIPS:
* If you’re using a mini muffin tin multiple times to complete the batch, clean and re-grease the muffin tin each time.
* I recommend using a baby bottle cleaner to get completely clean cups on your muffin tins.

Looks delicious! I may have to try these with my girls!
Looks yummy. Melinda makes yummy banana bread. We are going to need to try to make these muffins next time. Thanks for sharing.
i have bananas sitting on the counter waiting to be made into some yummy bread
Those look absolutely delicious!
YUMMY! I love banana bread!!
Oh this sounds delish!
Those sound yummy!! Wish I had all the ingredients cause I have two bananas that need using.
That is one we are gonna have to make in my house. The husband and kids love banana bread.
Oh those look so good. I’m going to have to snag that recipe and make them!
I love anything banana, so I will probably try this recipe out. Thanks for sharing!
I am gonna love this one! I really like the heavy bread and using flax seed is a great way to get what my body needs. Never have tried wheat germ though. I need to use some healthier ingredients…have always used the old recipe that is pretty generic.
Great idea on how to scrub out the muffin tins. I hate that job!
