SUPER-MOIST VEGAN BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup standard-size muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or vegetable shortening.
• In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons flax meal and 6 tablespoons water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt.
• In a medium bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and flax/water combination.
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir just until the ingredients are incorporated. Batter will be thick.
• Divide batter between 12 muffin cups. If you prefer larger muffins with big, domed crowns, divide the batter between 9 muffin cups instead of all 12.
• Sprinkle remaining 2 teaspoons flax meal over the tops.
• Bake for 18 - 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and place tin on a rack to cool for about five minutes. Transfer individual muffins to a wire rack to let cool completely.
• These muffins keep for 3 - 4 days in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze in a zipper bag.
