    I am attempting a banana muffin recipe this evening -- I will let you know how it comes out.

    The recipe is derived from the 66calorie banana chocolate chip cookies recipe that's on here. I made those--and they came out good. But was looking to try it in a muffin form due to how mushy the cookies are because of the bananas.

    I will probably double or triple the ingredients listed below because they are muffins - so the calories will probably be between 100-200 depending.

    Here is the original post:
    " found this awesome recipe for banana chocolate chip cookies. It says it makes 3 dozen but i actually only got 2 dozen out of it (3 dozen and the cookies would be far too small for me)

    1/3 cup butter, softened
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon baking soda
    1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips (i used ghirardelli 60% cacao baking bar, smashed into bits)


    Directions
    In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, banana and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.
    Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray..

    Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3 dozen.

    This is the one I use all the time, it's yummy. Can make a double batch and freeze the other loaf.

    •3 large bananas , well mashed
    •1 egg
    •1 stick of butter, melted
    •1 1/2 cup of flour
    •1 cup of sugar
    •1 teaspoon of salt
    •1 teaspoon of baking soda
    •1 cup nuts, optional (sometimes I put chocolate chips in)

    Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl; put into a well greased loaf pan. Bake at 350° for about 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in middle comes out clean.

    Here's a low-cal one that I've made. It's very moist! (Not as good as my grandma's banana bread recipe but much lower calorie...)

    Banana Bread

    1 mashed banana
    1 Tbls melted butter or margarine
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 cup Splenda
    dash salt
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 large egg
    2 Tbls skim milk
    3/4 cup flour

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Mix all ingredients together adding flour last.
    Pour mixture into 2 greased mini-loaf pans.
    Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.

    *Calculated at 600 calories total for the 2 loaves according to the recipe calculator on MFP.

    From the "Cooking Light" complete cookbook:

    2 cups of all-purpose flour
    3/4 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup sugar (I dropped it to 3/4 cup)
    2 large eggs
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/3 cup plain non-fat yogurt (I used Trader Joe's non-fat Greek yogurt)
    3-4 ripe bananas

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Mix flour, salt, and baking soda in bowl; set aside. In another bowl, mix butter and sugar on medium speed until well blended (about a minute). Add eggs, one at a time, allowing each egg to mix well before adding the next one. Add vanilla, yogurt, and bananas. Mix until well-blended, then add flour mixture. Pour batter into loaf pan or muffin tins coated in cooking spray.

    Bread: bake 1 hour
    Muffins: bake 20 minutes
