Flourless Banana Mish Mash Muffins

Found an interesting muffin recipe online

Flourless Banana Mish-Mash Muffins (Makes 12 muffins)

Ingredients(original recipe):
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat (or oat) bran or softened bran cereal
1/4 teaspoon salt-mummy omitted this

1/4 cup applesauce

1/4 cup blackstrap (or regular) molasses

1/4 cup coconut-mummy omitted this

2 ripe bananas

1 teaspoon vanilla extract-mummy omitted this

1 tablespoons baking powder

1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease muffin tins, or use muffin liners.

In large bowl, combine applesauce, 1 egg, molasses, bananas, and vanilla(omitted) until smooth. Add cinnamon if desired.

Mix in oats, bran cereal, baking powder, and salt(omitted).

Fold in coconut (or dried fruit, sliced nuts, etc.).-omitted

Fill muffin liners halfway with batter.

Sprinkle with sugar or sugar substitute on top if desired.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are light brown.

It is stated on the original recipe that dried fruit or sliced nuts can be substituted for the coconut. coconut could be difficult to chew and can be kinda stingy but finely shredded ones will work well. Also, add some cinammon or spices for extra flavor. The rolled oats could be ground up some to help the texture be more smooth, too.

**mummy doubted that this will work as it is flourless! She haven bake anything without any flour before! the dry ingredients is mainly oats, wheat bran and baking powder! So she wonder.. how the mixture can rise since the oats are so much heavier compare to flour???

Here's the result:

As expected, the muffins didnt rise as much though not too bad. mummy fill 3/4 of the muffin cups instead of half...

I LOVE them! perhaps because they are sweet due to the molasses... mummy doesnt really like them though. she says she hates the taste of blackstrap molasses haha.
