DIETETIC BANANA NUT MUFFINS
These muffins have no sugar and no fat, but are moist and tasty. Instead of regular applesauce, I sometimes use mango-peach to give the muffins more flavor. Great recipe for diabetics! You can use all white flour instead the whole wheat flour, too.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Ripen bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them ideal for banana muffins. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy. This will help to ensure that the muffins are evenly mixed and have a consistent texture.
- Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of flours, such as almond flour and oat flour, can help to reduce the carbohydrate content of the muffins and make them more diabetic-friendly.
- Add some sweetness: If you find that the muffins are not sweet enough, you can add a small amount of sweetener, such as stevia or erythritol. Be sure to taste the muffins as you add the sweetener to avoid making them too sweet.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature: Baking the muffins at a moderate temperature (350°F) helps to prevent them from drying out.
- Let the muffins cool completely: Once the muffins are baked, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
These diabetic-friendly banana muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed by people with diabetes and non-diabetics alike. With their moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and low carbohydrate content, these muffins are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these banana muffins a try!
