Healthy Banana "Doughnuts"
Recipe courtesy of babble.com
2 cups (300g) whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal (optional)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large, very ripe bananas
1/2 cup (220g) organic sugar (it has an earthier flavor, but regular is fine)
1/3 cup (60g) no sugar added applesauce
2 eggs, beaten
1 stick (8 tablespoons or 110g) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees, Celsius). Spray a non stick muffin pan, or donut pan, with non-stick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until almost smooth, but still chunky. Stir in sugar, butter, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla.
3. Carefully fold flour mixture into banana mixture. Stir until just incorporated. Batter should be lumpy, with no dry spots.
4. Fill each muffin or doughnut tin 2/3 full. Place on a large cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees, until a toothpick, inserted in the center muffins, comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.
