DIETETIC BANANA NUT MUFFINS

These muffins have no sugar and no fat, but are moist and tasty. Instead of regular applesauce, I sometimes use mango-peach to give the muffins more flavor. Great recipe for diabetics! You can use all white flour instead the whole wheat flour, too.

BANANA MUFFINS, DIABETIC AND DELICIOUS



Banana Muffins, Diabetic and Delicious image

I met this muffin on the Christine Cushing Live show and had to try it. For my money this is the ultimate banana muffin when it comes to the health aspect and just plain good taste. This can be made with some chopped nuts in place of the blueberries (or a small amount in addition to the berries). The nuts will add fat but nuts are heart healthy fat, you know the good kind.
