Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
¼ cup Unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup Granulated sugar
1 Egg (or 2 tablespoons dried egg mix)
2 Ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons Water
¼ cup All-purpose flour
¼ cup Whole wheat flour
¼ cup Quick-cooking oats
½ teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Baking soda
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Fresh or frozen blueberries or strawberries
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, sugar, egg, mashed bananas, and water until well combined.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Pour the wet banana mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just moistened; do not overmix—small lumps are fine.
Gently fold the berries into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any Charlotte chain without a second stop—all staples carried by Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI. At roughly $0.75–$1.00 per muffin, cost is driven by bananas and berries, both reasonably priced year-round in the region; using frozen berries cuts that further. The stated 53 minutes is honest for mixing and baking, though you should add 10 minutes for cooling before they're truly ready to eat. These reheat beautifully and freeze well, making them genuine weeknight prep-ahead material for busy mornings or packed lunches.
