METHOD
- Adjust the oven rack so that it is in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a muffin tin with large or jumbo paper cup liners. Set aside.

- In a medium bowl, beat together the mashed banana, brown sugar, skim milk, water, egg and vinegar. The mashed banana really needs to be mixed in well.

Notes
- This is going to look like it could make 18 muffins, but these whole grain muffins don’t raise that much. To get the full health hit, you need to make only 12, no more.
- Have any overripe bananas kicking around your counter? Freeze them whole. Two things happen in the freezing: 1) You didn’t waste food, and 2) Freezing breaks down the cell walls inside the banana so when they thaw they are the perfect consistency for any baked good that calls for mashed ripe bananas.
