Wheat Germ Streusel Banana Muffins

1 1/2 c. freshly milled soft wheat (1 1/4 c. freshly milled hard)
1/3 c. sucanat
1 t. aluminum free baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. sea salt
3 medium bananas, mashed
1 egg
2 T. oil
2 T. unsweetened applesauce

Streusel
1/4 c. sucanat
2 T. toasted wheat germ
1/8 t. cinnamon
1 T. cold butter
2 T. finely chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sucanat, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the bananas, egg, oil, and applesauce until well blended. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Coat muffin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners; fill two-thirds full with batter. For streusel, combine the sucanat, wheat germ, and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over batter.

Bake 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
