Banana Date-Nut Mini Muffins

• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup chopped dates
• 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. In a large bowl, beat the bananas, sugar, applesauce, oil and egg until well blended. Combine the flours, oats, baking powder and baking soda; gradually beat into banana mixture until blended. Stir in the dates, walnuts and lemon zest.
2. Coat miniature muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill half full with batter. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 2-14 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
