Equipment
- Standard Muffin Pan

Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup skim milk

- Sprinkles, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, Craisins, grated carrots, shredded coconut (Adjust WW Points accordingly)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and spray a regular 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Or you can line your muffin tin with muffin/cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, applesauce, milk and brown sugar.
- Add the Kodiak Cakes mix, baking powder and any optional additions and stir just until blended.
- Divide the batter evenly between your 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of your muffins evenly with any optional additions, if desired.
- Bake at 400 degrees until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or only slightly moist, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. You may need to run a sharp knife around the muffins to release them from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.

This is a great basic recipe that can be modified all kinds of ways:
Different Kodiak Cakes Flavor: I opt for the original buttermilk but there are lots more options including gluten free, chocolate chip, dark chocolate, peanut butter, strawberry chocolate chip, almond poppy seed and cinnamon oat.
Without bananas: To make Kodiak Cake Muffins without bananas, use applesauce instead.
Different milk: the recipe calls for skim milk. Any of the dairy free milks, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk would work instead.
Greek yogurt: To make Kodiak Cake muffins with Greek yogurt, substitute Greek yogurt for the 1/4 cup of milk and/or the 1/2 cup of applesauce.
Less Sugar: Substitute your favorite non calorie sweetener for the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
More flavoring options: vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon zest would all be nice.
