Make the "egg" of doing vegan

Grease muffin tin with oil/spray

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.

In another bowl, combine the apple sauce, milk and the brown sugar. Beat with a whisk until smooth.

Add the bananas, molasses, egg/flax, vanilla, and the oats; stir to combine.

Add the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (2/3 full)

Bake for 20-25 minutes (15-20 mins for mini-muffins), until the top of the muffins are set and dark brown.

Remove from the oven, transfer the hot muffins to a wire rack, and cool slightly.

Best served warm.
