BANANA WHEAT GERM MUFFINS



Banana Wheat Germ Muffins image

My whole family loves these muffins. I originally found this recipe in a weight watchers magazine from the mid-nineties. I saved it, although over the years I've tweaked it and it is no longer a low cal/low fat muffin. I think the original recipe used margarine, skim milk and 3 egg whites, not 100% positive though as I've been...
