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?

    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
