Vegan Breakfast Muffins

This is a wonderful, very healthy, vegan muffin recipe. These muffins are rich in whole grains and full of healthy ingredients. They are not a sweet muffin. If they are not sweet enough for you try adding 1/4 cup brown sugar or more agave syrup.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups oat bran
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1.5 cups applesauce
2 small, ripe bananas, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp soy milk
2 Tbsp agave
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix together remaining ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until blended. Divide batter into 8 muffin cups lined with paper liners. Bake for about 17 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Muffins will be slightly gooey inside but will become drier as they cool.
