Berry Banana Whole Wheat Muffins - healthy

(Anne B.)

These light muffins are great and the tops come out perfect! They taste healthy, yet don't have the heaviness of the whole wheat.

1 egg + 1 Tablespoon flax meal/flax seed ground (you can use 2 regular eggs instead, or use equivalent amount of egg whites)
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 bananas, mashed
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 heaping cup frozen 3 berry blend (or any combination of berries)
brown sugar

Combine the first six ingredients and whisk together. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Slowly fold into the wet ingredients, don't over mix. Then add frozen berries.

Grease regular muffin tins and fill all the way up. Sprinkle with brown sugar (optional). Bake at 375˚ F for 20-25 minutes. Keep refrigerated.
