Blueberry Banana Muffins
Every now and then I really crave muffins. Since I have been on the new Weight Watchers program, I haven't been baking as much. Carb heavy foods like cake, cookies and muffins (even when made with whole wheat flour) are quite a bit higher in points. Oh well...I was eating too much of it anyway. But this weekend I did a little experimenting with some muffins. Now that fruit is "free," I decided to bulk the muffins up with quite a bit of fruit. I was really happy with the results. I will definitely make these muffins again.
Blueberry Banana Muffins
-1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or whole wheat flour)
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp baking soda
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/3 cup organic zero sweetener (you could also use Stevia, Truvia or regular sugar)
-1 banana (mashed)
-1/4-1/2 cup almond milk
-1/3 cup applesauce
-1 tsp vanilla
-3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sweetener).
Mix the wet ingredients together (mashed banana, 1/4 cup almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla).
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. If muffin batter is not wet enough, add another 1/4 cup almond milk and maybe a little more applesauce. Once wet and dry ingredients are mixed, fold in blueberries.
Put in a muffin pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let cool and serve.
