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!)

APPLESAUCE BANANA MUFFINS

Applesauce Banana Muffins image

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 28m

Yield 24 regular size muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 ripe banana
1 1/2 cups applesauce (unsweetened works great)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup splenda type granulated artificial sweetener
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup unbleached flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 tsp table salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mash banana in a large bowl.
Add and mix in the applesauce, eggs, milk, brown sugar and sugar substitute.
Measure and add all the remaining dry ingredients.
Mix just until all dry ingredients are incorporated, scraping sides and bottom of bowl as needed.
Fill prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
Bake regular muffins about 22 minutes, mini muffins for about 18 minutes.

Tips:

Select ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add sweetness and moisture to the muffins. You can also freeze overripe bananas for later use.
Use unsweetened applesauce: Sweetened applesauce may make the muffins overly sweet. If you only have sweetened applesauce, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will ensure that all the muffins bake evenly.
Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking can result in dry muffins. Check the muffins for doneness a few minutes before the end of the baking time.

These banana muffins with applesauce are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're moist, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. Whether you're looking for a healthier alternative to traditional muffins or simply a sweet treat to enjoy, these muffins are sure to please.
