Banana-Date-Walnut Muffins

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat)
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup natural sugar (I used the large crystal, unbleached kind)
3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1-1/4 cups)
1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
1/3 cup natural apple sauce
2 tbsp. agave nectar (optional)
1/4 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (omit to reduce fat)

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 and spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray. Sift together
the flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mash the banana
with the sugar, soymilk, apple sauce, and agave nectar.
2. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add in
the dates and walnuts, and pour into 12 muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until
a toothpick comes out clean. Serve to everyone who came running toward the
aroma of fresh baked banana muffins!
