Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Rustic Pumpkin Banana Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins

What you need:
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C cooking oats
1/4 C Splenda
1/4 C Sugar In the Raw (you can use Stevia in the Raw for lower calories)
3 T brown sugar (or 1/4 C loosely packed)
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t ground cinnamon
1/2 t ground nutmeg (or pumpkin pie spice)
1/4 C unsweetened applesauce
2 eggs (or 3 eggs whites for lower calories)
1 t pure vanilla extract
1/2 - 15 oz. can pure pumpkin puree
2 ripe bananas, mashed
Optional:
1/8 C pure maple syrup (if you want a sweeter muffin, but more calories)

Make it:
Beat applesauce, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin and banana. Mix well.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, Splenda, Sugar in the Raw, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until you get a thick batter.

Fill 12 lined muffin cups about 3/4 full with the batter. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and set.
