Banana Bread Muffins

Ingredients

• 3 large, ripe bananas (smashed)
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons plain applesauce
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix butter and applesauce into the mashed bananas in a large bowl. Add the walnuts. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Add the baking soda. Next, add the flour into the sugar bowl. Shut off the electric mixer and add the banana bowl to your mixture. With a fork, mix the ingredients together (do not over mix to avoid bananas that are too mushy or ruining your walnuts!). Pour the mixture into twelve mini muffin tins. Bake in preheated oven for 24 minutes (until the edges of the tops are golden brown).
