Gluten-free Oatmeal Banana Muffins

1) Preheat oven: 400 degrees.

1 1/4 cup oats (large flakes - lower on GI)
1/2 cup yogurt (I used peach 'source' yogurt because that is what I had in the fridge - any yogurt will do)
1/2 cup milk

2) Combine oats, yogurt and milk - and let soak for 20 minutes.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 large, mashed bananas (ripe=sweeter=better)
1 egg (beat it by hand for 30 sec)

3) Mix brown sugar, apple sauce, mashed bananas and egg and add to oat mixture.

1 cup ground oats

1/2 cup ground almonds

(I use my favorite kitchen tool, the 'magic bullet', to grind large oats and almonds into a fine meal)

1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

4) Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

5) If you are in the mood add some chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to spice it up!

6) Pour batter into prepared (parchment or oiled) muffin tins or loaf pan and pop in the oven.

For muffins: 20 minutes

For loaf: 30-40 minutes
