Moist & Delicious Wheat Germ Muffins

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Measure soy milk into a small bowl and add cider vinegar. Let sit while you measure out the other ingredients.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is a great recipe!! I used whole spelt flour instead of whole wheat, and for the sugar, I used 1/4 cup of raw sugar and 1/4 cup of molasses! I also added unsweetened coconut. Mmmmmm...!! I will definitely be keeping this scrumptious muffin recipe, thanks!
Yummy muffins.
I modified them a little by using mostly whole wheat pastry flour and a little regular whole wheat flour because I didn't have a full two cups. I'd make these again but add some dried fruit (probably blueberry).
They were a good basic muffin but there wasn't a strong distinctive flavor.
