I love breakfast foods.
All of them.. the savory, sweet and of course, breakfast is better (if that’s possible) for supper. My husband rarely ate breakfast until I moved in, mostly because of the time it takes.
Now, Dustin and I love starting our day together with breakfast. One of our most favorite breakfasts is avocado toast with fried eggs. With our busy schedules, there are days sitting down for even 30 minutes is just not possible. These banana muffins make the perfect simple breakfast for work. I love popping it in the microwave to enjoy with my morning coffee.
When baking or cooking, I try to incorporate the things I already have in my kitchen. This Fall I made tons of Freezer Applesauce after we took a trip to our local orchard. I’d heard of applesauce as a replacement for oils, so I gave it a shot, and my oh my, it’s good!
If you read my applesauce recipe you know I like mine chunky, but don’t be alarmed, the applesauce breaks right down in the process of mixing the batter. This batter makes the perfect muffins, or drop it in a bread pan for a sweet loaf of banana bread. I prefer muffins because they make the perfect grab-and-go snack!
Okay, here’s the bread!
To start the batter, microwave the bananas and applesauce until they’re soft. While those are softening, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Once the bananas and applesauce are softened add to large mixing bowl and mix on low for 2-3 minutes. Mixing these will help breakdown any large chunks of banana or apple. After a few minutes add the eggs, vanilla and spices then mix on low.
With the mixer on low, slowly add in the sugar and flower. Mix until combined. Add the batter to a greased muffin tin, filling each tin 3/4 of the way full and place in the oven.
** TIP** place the oven rack one down from the center of the oven to cook the muffins evenly and keep the outside from burning.
