BANANA NUT BREAD AND APPLE MUFFINS FROM "A.J. WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKE MIX"
Homemade muffins are my favorite breakfast. What I discovered is there are great recipes on the box of A.J. Pancake Mix, the Whole Wheat mix! Of course I added fresh eggs, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, a little sugar,cinnamon, fruit and nuts. The "whole wheat" pancake mix actually was picked up by mistake, thinking I was...

Steps:
- 1. Full directions are on the box of whole wheat pancake mix, by A.J. THESE ARE WONDERFUL RECIPES, WHICH I WILL USE MANY TIMES. THEY ARE QUICK, EASY AND PERFECT.
- 2. The Apple-Walnut Muffins are made in several steps: First you measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and set aside.
- 3. In a medium sized bowl, mix one egg, one cup milk, one tablespoon oil, one small or individual-size serving of "Natural" apple sauce (unsweetened); and blend together.
- 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.
- 5. The Granny Smith apple needs to be cored, peeled and shredded. I prefer to use one large G.S. Apple. I also use 1 cup of chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped.
- 6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir in the apple and walnuts.
- 7. Have a twelve-cup Medium-size muffin pan sprayed with oil, and an ice-cream scoop also sprayed with oil ready. The oven should be preheated to 425 degrees.
- 8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for at least 25 minutes. Remove tin and let rest on the counter on a cake rack for a few minutes, then loosen muffins. Enjoy one (or two) while warm with a nice hot cup of coffee for breakfast each morning! We do!

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS (HEALTHY!)
These muffins are a healthy option because of the wheat flour and flax seed. The sugar could probably be reduced further, if desired, but I haven't tried to do that yet. If you don't want to use the wheat flour, just use 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. I add some quick oats to the topping, for presentation. Also good in a mini-muffin pan!

DAIRY FREE WHOLE WHEAT BANANA OAT MUFFINS
I was trying to come up with a Dairy free muffin recipe low on sugar and oils. This came out pretty well. Not too sweet. Next time I'll try adding nuts and raisins or chopped cranberries. I didn't add any flavorings; but a little vanilla may make it taste less bread like. Also, I didn't actually use applesauce, I peeled, chopped and baked a fresh apple and added that; but the website won't let me add mashed apple as an ingredient.
