Low-Fat (no fat?) Sugar-Free Banana Walnut Muffins...Yummy (no, seriously)

TASTY BANANA NUT MUFFINS (oh yeah, and they're healthy, too...)

1 c. white flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour (I used just a smidgen less wheat flour and added 1/8 c. ground flax)
3/4 c. splenda
1 1/4 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
2 egg whites
2 to 2 1/2 mashed ripe bananas
1/4 c. applesauce
walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 375. Grease WELL a muffin tin (12). These muffins stick badly to liners so I would NOT recommend using paper liners.

Mix wet ingredients well. In separate bowl, mix dry ingredients (except walnuts). Add dry to wet and mix just until blended. Fold in nuts.

Using about 1/3 c. measuring cup, fill the muffin tin cups. Bake 15-18 minutes (16 min. was perfect at my house). I froze mine and we'll use them on Sunday mornings (I had tripled the recipe).

These really are guilt-free and very TASTY! Enjoy!

Yay! Thanks for the recipe. My kids loved them the other day when you gave them some. I'm excited to try it.
