- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground flaxseed meal, and cinnamon.
- In another large bowl whisk together the applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, banana, peanut butter, and milk.
- Next add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir together until just combined. (it might be a little lumpy, that is totally ok)
