How to Make Applesauce Banana Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mash one ripe banana in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
3. Add 1/2 cup applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup sugar substitute (Splenda or similar). Mix well to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fill prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full. For mini muffins, fill cups about halfway.
7. Bake regular-sized muffins for 22-25 minutes, or mini muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
