Banana oat cupcakes

In an effort to provide a healthier alternative to the banana cakes and cupcakes I have made in the past, I decided to give these a go. There is no butter in the recipe and it is packed with oats. 

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar (minus 2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 egg

1 tablespoon of honey
3/4 cup low fat milk
1/3 cup rice bran oil
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed bananas

Method

Grease and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper bake cups,
Place flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg then add in the honey, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Add the mashed banana, and mix thoroughly until well blended. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture and mix until just combined. Don't over stir the batter! 

Divide the batter evenly between them.
Bake at 200 degrees C for 18 to 20 minutes.

I iced them quickly with the always popular lemon cream cheese icing and sent them off with Mr X to work. Looking back, I should have put more effort in and actually piped the icing onto the cupcakes. I guess there is always next time...
