No-Fat Banana Muffins
There is no oil, or butter. It doesn't need it! Enjoy :)
For an even halthier version, use 3 egg whites instead of whole eggs, splenda or unsweetened apple sauce instead of sugar, and for the flour use 1 cup white & 1 c whole wheat. Using applesauce in place of sugar adds sweetness without the extra calories and, well, sugar. One cup of unsweetened applesauce contains only about 100 calories, while one cup of sugar can pack in more than 770 calories! You can sub sugar for apple sauce in a 1:1 ratio, but for every cup of applesauce you use, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup.
