BANANA MUFFINS

Banana Muffins

This recipe is from Melissa (melbernai)

Makes 14 Muffins at 2 p+ each!!!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 C. Whole Wheat Flour
• 3/4 C. All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 3 large bananas, mashed
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon of Oil (EVOO, Canola, etc.)

Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside.

Mash bananas well so that there are no chunks (I do this in a large ziploc bag, then cut the tip off and squeeze it into the bowl that way.)  Mix bananas, applesauce, egg and sugar together, and then slowly blend into the dry ingredients.  Do not over mix.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

If you add 1/3 C. of Chocolate Chips OR 1/3 C. of Walnuts, that only brings the PointsPlus value to 3 a piece!!  If you add both to the recipe that brings it to 4 a piece! Add points accordingly if you add nuts or chocolate chips to your muffins!
