Lower-Sugar Banana Oat Muffins

I was looking to make a lower-sugar banana muffin, because many recipes have a cup of sugar for just 12 muffins – which makes that more a cupcake than a muffin….

Just sweet enough to feel like a treat, yet full of fiber from the oats and flaxseed, these also make a great breakfast on the go, and they freeze well. As part of All Good April with Carrington Farms, I came up with these muffins that will be snatched up quickly!

Carrington Farms milled flax seeds are sliced, rather than pulverized, leaving a course flaxseed meal, that works wonderfully in baked goods as an egg replacer. The bonus is that not only do I often replace eggs with flaxseed, but it is also a great addition for fiber and Omega 3.
