Now I know what to do with those too ripe bananas! I was going to make banana bread, but think my kiddos will love this too! :bigsmile:

Wonder if you could use pumpkin instead of the oil and applesauce?? and egg beaters to cut down on fat

They sound SO good!

JasiBella

Very welcome:bigsmile:

My 3 y/o ate all the strawberries so mine will be out.

I'm sure you can sub the oil & applesauce with pumpkin. I'll be using egg beaters too.

jessmomof3

I just made them and they look yummy!! I didn't have strawberries, so I used no-sugar strawberry applesauce and I used 1/2 c. eggbeaters instead of 2 eggs. I topped them w/ mini chocolate - chips. I will have my kids taste test them when they get home from school! :bigsmile:

Thanks for the recipe!

Okay, I went to get some staples to make these, the're in the oven and I forgot the brown sugar!!!:laugh: :laugh: We'll see...............bf made a face, as if he'd know, doesn't know half of what I feed him!:laugh: :laugh:

JasiBella

:laugh: :laugh:

Okay they appear to be fine, I put a little splenda on top and since I used pumpkin, applesauce (no sugar) and a chopped apple less skin, that should be fine. Oh, well, I still have ingredients to make more at a later date (put some of these in the freezer as there are only two of us) and they didn't cost as much as the Weight Watcher muffins I bought at three for $2.99 on sale!

Anyone else ever freeze and re=thaw these types of things?

JasiBella

I've frozen these Raspberry-Cream Cheese Muffins & were just fine

I cannot wait to make these giant muffins tomorrow. I am craving muffins!!!!:ohwell:

jessmomof3

Bumping again, my dd's request! :bigsmile:

jessmomof3

I made these again today (actually my 10yo made them w/ just a little help. :laugh: ).

We made them a little less giant, and it made 20 muffins. Used the no sugar added strawberry applesauce. Yum!

nali_12

has anyone tried to add more applesauce in place of the oil? then they'd be even healthier?

maybe i'll try!
