Wet ingredients
1 1/2 bananas, very ripe & mashed
2/3 cup safflower oil
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar (sucanat or raw)
1/2 cup low-fat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Dry ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Fold in
1/2 banana, very ripe & coarsely chopped
2/3 cup muesli (homemade or store bought)
1/3 cup flax seed
Topping
12 banana chips, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons muesli (to taste)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (340 degrees F if using a dark, nonstick muffin tin).
2
In a large bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients (1 1/2 mashed banana, safflower oil, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla).
3
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients (whole wheat flour, white flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda).

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX!
5
Gently fold in the chopped banana, 2/3 cup muesli, and flax seeds.
6
Line a standard 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the batter evenly into the cups (it should be about even with the tops of the cups).
7
Top the muffins with the broken banana chips and remaining 2 tablespoons of muesli.
8
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
