Blueberry Banana Oat Muffins

I found this recipe on Recipezaar (#73887). It is basically a banana bread muffin with blueberries -- it's very good! I substituted white whole wheat for the all-purpose flour and applesauce for the margarine, but everything else is the same. Oh, I also substituted ground flax seeds for the wheat germ called for in the original...

Blueberry Banana Oat Muffins
Time: 4o minutes; 15 minutes prep
makes 12 large muffins
----------------------------------
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg whites
2 cups bananas, mashed
1/4 cup melted margarine (or applesauce)
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
------------------------------------------
Preheat oven to 375*F. Spray 12 large muffin cups with Pam or use paper liners. Combine first 7 dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Mix well. Beat egg whites, banana, and melted margarine (or applesauce) together until smooth. Add banana mixture to dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups almost full. (I sprinkled some turbinado sugar on top for a crunch sweet topping...) Bake at 375*F for 20-25 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to wire rack.
