Apple Banana Muffins

Apples and bananas are likely two of the most common fruits. They seem to pair well together, so why not put them together in a muffin? These muffins are moist, with a subtle hint of cinnamon, and a nice texture from the addition of oats. Some chopped nuts or dried fruit would add a little extra. For a little extra flavor and sweetness, sprinkle the muffins with cinnamon sugar before baking.

Apple Banana Muffins
2 large, overripe bananas, mashed
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat or all-purpose (plain) flour
3/4 cup granulated (white) sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium apples, peeled and chopped

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line muffin cups.
In a large bowl, mix together the first four wet ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients, then fold in the apples. Divide evenly among muffin cups.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Makes 12 muffins.
