INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup AP flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or AP flour)
1/2 cup ground almonds (or AP flour)
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1+ tbs brewer's yeast (optional; add more as desired)
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2-4 ripe bananas, mashed
DIRECTIONS:
1. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin & preheat oven to 375.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Beat egg lightly in small bowl, then stir in milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the mashed banana and combine thoroughly.
4. Add wet mixture to dry & mix until just combined. Fill muffin tin.
5. Bake for 20-24 minutes. Cool on baking rack.
RESULTS: In the world I'm currently living in, there are three obsessions: getting the baby to sleep, losing the baby weight, and worrying about having enough milk. This recipe seems to speak to two of those. Foods that you can eat with one hand and require zero prep are really handy, too. I don't know if it works, but the internets say that oats and brewer's yeast are useful for keeping up supply. Also, notice that the only fat is from the egg.
These turned out surprisingly well. Moist, not too dense (as most fat-free muffins are), and the banana and (homemade!!) applesauce worked really well together. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup because they were rather sweet and add in some flax, which is also good (supposedly) for supply.
