Apple Oat Bran Muffins (GF)

These came out REALLY REALLY good.  These are nice and moist and have a GREAT flavor.   Comments from my co-workers:  "These are REALLY good... These are SOOO moist.....I think these might be my favor muffin so far"

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Oat Flour
1/2 cup Corn Flour
1/2 cup Potato Starch
3/4 cup Oat Bran
1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed
1/4 cup Sucanat   (or brown sugar)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
--------
2 Tbsp molasses
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped apples, peeled
2 medium to large very ripe bananas, mashed

Topping:

1 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:
Mix molasses, applesauce, milk, vanilla, apples and mashed bananas in one bowl. 

Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl.    

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.  


Pour into muffin pan, sprinkle with topping mixture and bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  

I like using the silicone bakeware for my muffins.  The muffins  come out so easily and I don't need to grease the pan.  My favorites are:   Casabella Silicone Standard Muffin Pan, Casabella Silicone Large Muffin Pan, Casabella Jumbo Muffin Cups.


The OXO Large Scoop  is GREAT for scooping out batter into the muffin pan.  It is MUCH neater than when I used a spoon to scoop the batter into the pan - I no longer get batter all over the muffin pan !!!
