Eeek. I didn't realize my picture was that bad. I guess that's what I get for taking pictures at 10:30pm in an already dark kitchen. See that cute stand that I have my muffins on though? I saw my Mom had one when we were visiting and she said that she got them at Walmart for $3! When I was there the next day, lo and behold they still had some in stock! I grabbed two of these black ones and a white wire bowl that is currently housing my apples.
See?
Banana Walnut Muffins
Adapted from: Giada De Laurentiis
Ingredients:
2.5 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp flax seed
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup applesauce (original recipe calls for vegetable oil)
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
4 mashed bananas
Preheat your oven to 350*. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, table salt, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, flax seed and walnuts, . Stir to lightly combine.
In a separate large bowl, combine your sugars, oil or applesauce, vanilla, eggs and mashed bananas. Make sure to mash your bananas completely or you'll end up with banana chunks that won't bake properly during the baking time (trust me, i know.)
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
If you're not using cupcake liners, generously grease a muffin pan with baking non-stick spray. Divide the batter evenly into the cups. I filled them 3/4 full to almost completely full. I got two pans out of the recipe, so 24 muffins total.
WW info: 5pts per muffin
These would be a great breakfast combined with a smoothie and a small yogurt. Light, refreshing and filling!
