Fat-Free Banana-Pumpkin Muffins image

This is a recipe I made up to make muffins that were fat-free, so just a little more wholesome. Basically, it's a mix of pumpkin bread and banana bread, but without butter or oil. This recipe is good for adapting to those that do not care about it being fat-free. Adding mini chocolate chips makes the muffins sweeter, but still not too unhealthy.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
4 large overripe bananas
¾ cup brown sugar
⅔ cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup egg whites
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon grated orange zest
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 ⅛ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Mash bananas in a large bowl. Mix in brown sugar, pumpkin, and egg whites.
  • Mix allspice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and orange zest together in a small bowl. Set aside 1/2 teaspoon of mixture.
  • Combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and remaining spice mixture in another large bowl. Slowly add banana-pumpkin mixture and mix until completely moistened. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Place a pinch of reserved 1/2 teaspoon spice mixture on top of each muffin.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Leave muffins in their tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for further cooling.

Overall, I thought these muffins were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The muffins were easy to make, but they didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected.

These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra pumpkin puree next time.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The banana flavor really shines through.
