Banana Muffins

I adapted this recipe from the muffin recipe out of my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 c. flour
• 1/2 c. wheat germ
• 1/3 c. brown sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. cloves
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/2 c. milk or rice milk
• 3/4 c. mashed ripe banana (if you have a little more than 3/4c. that's ok too)
• 2 Tb. vegetable oil
• 2 Tb. applesauce

Directions:

1. Grease your muffin tin or put paper liners in. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl combine all the dry ingredients (flour to cloves).
3. In a smaller bowl combine all the wet ingredients (egg to applesauce)
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened--batter should be lumpy.
5. Spoon batter into muffin tin, filling about 2/3 the way full. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
