Banana Muffins, Diabetic and Delicious image

I met this muffin on the Christine Cushing Live show and had to try it. For my money this is the ultimate banana muffin when it comes to the health aspect and just plain good taste. This can be made with some chopped nuts in place of the blueberries (or a small amount in addition to the berries). The nuts will add fat but nuts are heart healthy fat, you know the good kind.

The muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sweetener next time.
