Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp. water*
- 3/4 cup banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce*
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk together ground flaxseed and water and let sit for 5 minutes to create a "flax egg."
Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate medium-sized bowl.
Add the mashed banana, applesauce and vanilla into the flax egg bowl and combine.
Mix wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. The batter should be creamy and not form stiff peaks. Add a few tablespoons of water, if needed.
Stir in chopped walnuts.
Divide batter between six lined muffin cups
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool completely before eating. Enjoy!
