The original recipe is from Martha Stewart with a few of my own changes. I use applesauce instead of her canola oil, and yogurt instead of sour cream to make them healthier and less crumbly. I always make mini muffins and Ave loves to eat a couple for her bedtime snack. They are moist and chewy and not crumbly at all which is perfect for her.
Makes 12 Muffins or 36 Minimuffins (I get almost 50 minimuffins! I don't use paper liners and they freeze nicely in baggies afterwards)
4 (1 1/2 to 2 pounds) ripe bananas
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce (or canola oil)
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup applesauce (or canola oil)
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan, regular or mini, with paper liners.
Peel four bananas, and place them in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until mashed, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar, oil, and egg; beat until smooth. Reduce speed to low. Add flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; beat until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla; beat until combined.
Fill muffin liners three-quarters full. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes for regular muffins and 20 for mini, rotating pan halfway through. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Store, covered, at room temperature.

I am going to try these with all wheat flour next time instead of half wheat half white. I will let you know how it turns out.
