Low Fat Banana Muffins

These low fat banana muffins are excellent for a quick, healthful, on-the-go snack. Plus! They are a classic, time-proven way of getting rid of your over-ripe bananas!

They have a lovely optional cinnamon sugar topping. Or, if you wish, garnish each muffin with a banana slice before baking.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed bananas (approx. 2)
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup buttermilk or soured milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Topping:
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°F

Line your muffin tin with paper liners, or spray well with non-stick cooking oil.

In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together mashed banana, sugar, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Spoon into prepared muffin pans (about 2/3 full).

Topping (Optional):
Combine sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over muffins.

Bake for 25 minutes (or until the tops are firm to the touch). Let cool in pan for 5 minutes before removing from tin.

Makes 12 muffins.
