1 large ripe banana
1/3 cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce, plain yogurt, or fruit/veggie puree

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 24-count mini muffin pan with nonstick spray or use mini muffin liners. If using liners, grease the liners. Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor, in the order listed, except for the 3/4 cup of add-ins. Blend or process until combined. Stir in the add-ins. Divide evenly between muffin liners. Top with a few oats, if desired. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove and cool completely before serving. Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Make ahead tip: For longer storage, freeze muffins for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw on the counter or defrost in the microwave.
