BERRY BANANA WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS

This is a recipe I found on my sisters childhood friend's blog, Welcome to Beanland. She's way into healthy living, and where I found a lot of my early inspiration. She's also got some good info on a Healthy Minds and Bodies Group she does... something I'd totally love to do around here. Anyhow, these are super yummy, super healthy - and freeze great.

1 Jumbo egg + 1 TBS flax meal (or instead of egg use 2 T. flax meal + 1/8 teaspoon baking powder + 3 tablespoons water, OR 1/2 of a mashed ripe banana plus 1/4 teaspoon baking powder) OR you can use 2 regular eggs
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup vegetable oil (or pumpkin puree)
½ cup packed brown sugar (1/3 cup agave nectar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 bananas, mashed (could puree)

Whisk together. Combine in a separate bowl:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Stir into dry, then add:
1 heaping cup frozen 3 berry blend (or any frozen berries. Mine is the 3 blend from Costco, blueberry, marion, and raspberry)

Grease regular muffin tins and fill all the way up. Sprinkle with brown sugar (optional). Bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes.
