I've been told I should open a bakery with these muffins. They are moist, flavorful, low fat, and low calorie. If you're like me and feel guilty eating 3 or 4 cookies in a sitting, these muffins are the answer! Ingredients:
2 cups white wheat flour |
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 large eggs, using egg whites only |
1/3 cup sugar free applesauce |
1 cup skim milk or 1 cup almond milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 ripe bananas, mashed |
1/2 bag mini semi dark chocolate chips |
1/2 cup walnuts (optional) or 1/2 cup almonds (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375. Prepare muffin tins with paper liners or grease with non stick spray. In a medium bowl mix together dry ingredients. This includes flour, oats, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, chocolate, nuts, and salt until well blended. In a separate larger bowl blend applesauce, eggs, milk, and vanilla with a whisk. Add in bananas and stir until an even texture is achieved. Mix dry ingredients in with wet mixture just until moistened. I like to fold the mixture together. Fill mini or regular sized muffin tins just over half full. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
