Monkey Muffins - adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction

makes 16 small muffins (I used a cupcake pan)
■2.5 cups whole rolled oats (not instant)
■1/4 cup brown sugar or applesauce
■1 tsp baking powder
■1/2 tsp salt
■2 tsp ground cinnamon
■1 tsp vanilla extract
■1/2 cup milk
■1 large egg
■2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
■1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter or I bet even nutella would work)
■1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, raisins, peanut butter chips, craisins...whatever you like to spruce it up

DIRECTIONS
1.Preheat oven to 350. Get cupcake liners ready
2.Mix together oats, brown sugar/ applesauce, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3.Add in the milk, vanilla, and egg. Mix together until evenly combined.
4.Add mashed bananas, peanut butter, chocolate chips (or whatever you decided to put in) Stir well.
5.Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 20 minutes.

Delicious hot with a glass of milk. Also tasty cooled. Even Natalie inhaled this. Super high in protein, fiber, whole grain, potassium, notice no added oil or butter or other fats, and low in carbs. I personally dig it because it's really filling. I had this for breakfast, it's now 10:10 and I haven't even started scrounging through the kitchen for easter candy to tide me over till lunch (that's rare for me. :) )
