How to Make Banana Muesli Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup sucanat sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy).
3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix!
5. Gently fold in 1 1/2 mashed ripe bananas, 2/3 cup muesli (Bob's Red Mill recommended), and 1 tablespoon flax seeds.
6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7. Top each muffin with 1 teaspoon of broken banana chips and 1 teaspoon of additional muesli.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
