NO-FAT BANANA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS



No-Fat Banana Applesauce Muffins image

I got this recipe out of a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and it is one of my stand-by recipes when I am watching my calories and fat. Since I am doing just that right now, thought I would put it on the zaar for easy access and hopefully someone else likes this recipe as good as I do. (I prefer to sub 3/4 of the white flour for whole wheat and use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I think fresh nutmeg is the key in this!)

BANANA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS



Banana Applesauce Muffins image

I made these into mini muffins and baked them a little less. They stuck to my papers so next time I will try spraying the pan instead. I was looking for a banana/apple recipe and this one is really good. The banana flavor is great. It comes from the AMA Family Health Cookbook. The picture I took was better than this...guess I...

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup applesauce
3 tbsp oil OR applesauce or mashed banana
2 tbsp milk of choice
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp white or cider vinegar
1 cup spelt,
1/4 cup sugar or unrefined sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each: baking soda and baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
optional handful raisins, (crushed walnuts, shredded coconut, etc.)

Steps:

  • *If you want to make mini muffins, bake only 10 minutes. I recommend this mini muffin pan.Whisk all liquid ingredients together. Preheat oven to 350, and line a muffin tin. In a new bowl, stir remaining ingredients very well. Pour dry into wet, and stir until just evenly mixed. Fill each liner about 2/3 of the way, leaving a little room because they will rise. Bake on the center rack, 20 minutes or until muffins have domed and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean. Let cool. (If you loosely cover overnight on the counter or refrigerated, the liners peel off easily the next day and flavor and texture are even better.) Leftovers can be frozen if desired.

Categories     Snack

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg
3 large (1 1/2 cups very ripe bananas)
1/2 cup applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
3 tbsp olive, avocado or coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray non-stick 12 muffin tin. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk egg. Add bananas and mash. Add applesauce, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, baking powder and soda and salt; whisk to combine.
  • Add flour and gently stir until well incorporated. Do not over mix - that produces a tough muffin.
  • Fill each opening almost full with batter and bake for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • Let muffins cool for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool off completely.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bananas. Overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots on the skin are best for baking because they're naturally sweeter and more flavorful.
  • Use unsweetened applesauce. This will help keep the muffins from becoming too sweet.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These healthy banana applesauce muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
