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.

Tips:

- **Use a food processor to make quick work of the pumpkin puree.** Simply add the pumpkin chunks to the food processor and pulse until smooth. - **If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender to make the pumpkin puree.** Just be sure to blend the pumpkin in batches, so that it doesn't overflow the blender. - **Be sure to drain the pumpkin puree well before using it in the muffins.** This will help to prevent the muffins from being too wet. - **Use a light-colored muffin pan to help the muffins bake evenly.** A dark-colored muffin pan will absorb more heat, which can cause the muffins to overcook on the outside and be undercooked on the inside. - **Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full.** This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing. - **Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.** This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. - **Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them.** This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These virtually fat-free mini pumpkin muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're perfect for fall gatherings, or anytime you're craving a sweet treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make these muffins at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
