A Healthy Banana Nut Muffin

This past rainy Monday, I decided to make some 'healthy' Banana Nut Muffins. It was great warm with a mug of hot chocolate!!

For original recipe visit the source below!

I tweaked the original recipe (the recipe below is what I used) to be all whole wheat flour, adding 1/2 cup more of applesauce, handful of crushed walnuts and handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Original Recipe Yield 12 muffins

 

Ingredients

• 1
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup granular sucrolose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana
• 3/4 cup applesauce

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin tin, or line with paper muffin liners.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg whites, mashed banana and applesauce. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until just blended. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.
3. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Allow muffins to cool in the pan over a wire rack for a little while before tapping them out of the pan.
