2 ½ cups rolled oats
1 ½ cups over-ripe mashed banana ½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 ½ tablespoons honey
½ cup dried cherries, chopped small
2 tablespoons wheat germ or flaxmeal 1 1/3 cup water 1-½ tablespoons applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat your oven to 380 F, and line 12 cupcake tins. Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir very well. In a separate bowl, whisk together all liquid ingredients. Mix wet into dry, then pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake 21 minutes. Broil 3 additional minutes, then let cool. If you let them cool overnight, they will no longer stick to the liners. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated.
