NO-FAT BANANA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS



No-Fat Banana Applesauce Muffins image

I got this recipe out of a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and it is one of my stand-by recipes when I am watching my calories and fat. Since I am doing just that right now, thought I would put it on the zaar for easy access and hopefully someone else likes this recipe as good as I do. (I prefer to sub 3/4 of the white flour for whole wheat and use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I think fresh nutmeg is the key in this!)

BANANA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS

I made these into mini muffins and baked them a little less. They stuck to my papers so next time I will try spraying the pan instead. I was looking for a banana/apple recipe and this one is really good. The banana flavor is great. It comes from the AMA Family Health Cookbook. The picture I took was better than this...guess I...

APPLESAUCE BANANA MUFFINS

This is a re-make of a recipe I've had forever...A great way to use up that one lingering banana in the fruit bowl, and the substitution of whole wheat flour for part of the regular flour as well as the splenda for part of the sugar makes these a bit healthier than lots of muffins out there. And they're delicious! Makes 2 dozen regular size muffins or 1 dozen regular and 1 dozen minis.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 bananas mashed
1 cup applesauce
2/3 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
chopped pecans/walnuts optional
GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray or use liners. Sift together all dry ingredients in large bowl.
  • 2. In another large bowl, beat eggs with both sugars until light. Mix applesauce, banana, oil and vanilla until smooth. If you wish to add chopped nuts, you may do so now. Fold in dry ingredients. Do not over mix. Pour into prepared muffin tins.
  • 3. Bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick test in center of muffin comes out clean. Cool 10 mins and remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
  • 4. Glaze, mix the ingredients with the milk being added 1 tablespoon at a time. You may want to add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency. I glazed 1/2 of the muffins and then melted 20 chocolate chips in microwave and added it to the glaze to make a chocolate flavored glaze for the remaining muffins. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that the muffins are smooth and light.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Banana applesauce muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and healthy ingredients, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
