My own recipe...just made them and they turned out perfect! I never thought no fat or sugar added could taste so good.

Ingredients:
8 extremely ripe bananas
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
6 egg whites
1.5 cup slivered almonds
1 cup oats
3 cups whole wheat flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda

Directions:
Preheat oven. In a large bowl, blend bananas on low speed with a hand mixer. Add remaining ingredients and blend on low speed until completely blended. Blend on medium speed for 1 extra minute. Spray muffin pans with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon batter into pans. Bake for 25-30 min at 350 degrees. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes and remove from pans.

I highly recommend that you put 1/2 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter on top, so delicious!

    These sound yummy especially with the almonds and PB. Thanks for posting. How many muffins does it make? I usually only use 2 or 3 bananas.

    Sounds yummy! Do you put the peanut butter on before baking or after?
  • Sounds good.

    24 muffins

    Peanut butter afterwards, like right when you're going to eat it.

    The nutrition facts did not include the PB.

  • These sound great but if I wanted to use the whole egg instead of just the whites, do you know how many I would use? I'm thinking 2 maybe?

    OMgosh, thank you for posting this. I have about 6 very ripe bananas at home right now and I was hoping to find a good recipe to use them in.

    And like the poster above, wondering how many whole eggs instead of whites anyone thinks this recipe would take?

    2 egg whites = 1 whole egg
