These Muffins are no sugar added, low fat, low calorie, zero saturated fat and are awesome if you don't have a lot of sugar in your diet and need something "sweet".
Bonus note: These muffins also contain high amounts of Selenium, a trace mineral that works alongside vitamin E as an antioxident. It also helps regulate the thyroid.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Bake time: 15 minutes
Yields 6 muffins
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
3 large mashed bananas (the riper the better-- i used bananas that were JUST about to be thrown away)
1 egg white
1 tbs ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 365 degrees. In a medium bowl whisk together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mash bananas and add egg white. Marry two bowls. Pour mixture into lined cupcake pan. Bake until tooth pick inserted comes out clean. (15-20 minutes)
*** these aren't super sweet. the first time i made them, others were shocked at their lack of sweetness-- for me they are perfect, as i love the taste of banana and the aroma of cinnamon. For a low calorie glaze, mix in a small bowl, 1/3 cup of orange juice with 1/4 cup clover honey, when muffins begin to brown in oven, pull out and brush with glaze and continue to cook.
