Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tarter

1/2 tsp nutmeg

Wet Ingredients:
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 brown bananas (mashed)

Mix all your dry ingredient in separate bowl.  Combine your egg, bananas, milk, oil and vanilla until you have a semi-smooth mixture.  Add your dry ingredients to this and mix until well combined.  Scoop into muffin tin lined with cupcake liners (about 3/4 full).  I made mine extra special by adding a sweet topping, see ingredient below.  Bake @ 400F for 18-20 minutes.  Makes about 16 muffins.

Sweet Topping (stir the following):
1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T butter, softened
cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
