    splash of vanilla extract

    1. preheat oven to 350. spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

    2. in large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. in separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. stir in eggs and bananas until blended. stir banana mixture into flour mixture just until moistened. scoop flour mixture into muffin tin tray.

    3. bake in oven for 45 minutes or until cooked all the way through. (my oven is gas and takes 45, yours may take longer)

    recipe makes 12 muffins at 185 calories a muffin.

    2 1/2 cups oatmeal
    15oz cup canned pumpkin
    2/3 cup splenda (or to taste)
    1 cup skim milk
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    2 eggs (or egg beaters)
    1 T apple pie spice (or pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon - all to taste)
    1 tsp vanilla

    Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together and spoon into muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.

    There are a few variations of this recipe that I am going to try. I put every single ingredient into MFP and I believe each muffin is 88 calories. I really liked this particular one. Not dry at all. And again, the spices and Splenda can be adjusted to your liking. Next I am going to try them with applesauce in place of pumpkin, along with apple pie spice and cinnamon. Can't hurt!

    Sounds great!

    This website has some of the best protein muffins ever!
    I've made the chocolate chip pumpkin, blueberry and lemon poppy seed ones and I have raved to everyone that will listen to me.
    The lemon poppy seed muffins were only 77 calories by my recipe calculation.

    This is my new favorite website! Thanks for posting!

    I make banana muffins using a box banana bread mix, 3/4 cup water (like the directions call for) and replaced the oil and eggs with one snack size cup of apple sauce. my boyfriend who is a picky eater devoured them and would never know the difference.
    However, I couldnt tell you the nutritional information.

    Sounds yummy!

    Sounds really good! Just a question though: are they at all gummy? That's the texture thing that puts me off low-fat muffins.

    There are 2 recipes going around for these.
    I have made them both! The first time I added the water and they would not cook through and I had to through them away.
    The second time I only added the pumpkin and cake mix. I made them once with Chocolate cake ( tasted like brownies) and once with Carrot cake. Both Delish. Don't add the water.

    Vita Muffins or muffin tops are delicious, but expensive. They are worth the money to me though. They are packed with fiber.
