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...

These are great for when you want a sweet treat. Not as sweet as cupcakes, yet sweeter than most "healthy" muffins (due to the bananas), these are perfect any time! The recipe is from Veganomicon.

Time 42m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

3/4 cup wheat germ
1 tablespoon cinnamon
