- Yields:
-
12 muffins
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 1 cup plain soymilk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 1⁄3 cup canola oil
- 1⁄3 cup evaporated cane juice (or sugar)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 3⁄4 cup wheat germ
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray (or use foil muffin liners--much easier).
- Pour the soy milk into a measuring cup and add the vinegar to it. Set it aside to curdle.
- Meanwhile, mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add the soy milk mixture to the bowl along with the oil, sugar, and vanilla, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the banana mixture and use a wooden spoon to gently stir the ingredients, until all the dry ingredients are just moistened (do not over-stir!).
- Fill the muffin cups three-quarters full and bake for 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and, once cool enough to handle, transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way. You can also serve them warm.

I really enjoyed these! I did not have soymilk so I did substitute organic 2% milk with good results. (I am not vegan but was looking for something healthy and using wheat germ). Passed the real taste test around here- my husband and 2 kids both liked them too! Oh yes- I added 1/2 cup of raisins just to give them a little something extra.

Oh yum! Just one caveat...if you are using good high quality cinnamon, a little less goes a long way. However, the guys who inhaled them (included a banana hater, sheesh, men) weren't phased by the excess cinnamon one bit. The wheat germ was nice too. These are definitely a daily muffin I can make a lot.
