Ingredients




1/2 cup(s) EggBeaters
 cup(s) packed brown sugar
1/2 cup(s) light sour cream
1/2 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large very ripe banana(s)
3/4 cup(s) whole wheat flour

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with non-stick baking spray. 2 In a large bowl, beat eggbeaters and sugar until fluffy about 5 minutes. Beat in sour cream, milk and vanilla.  Mash bananas and add to mixture. 3 In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add to Banana mixture, mixing just until blended. 4 Pour batter into prepared muffin tin. I use ice cream scoop to get equal measure and make less mess. 5 Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin (check a  couple) comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. 6 Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts for an additional 1 Weight Watchers point making these 3 point muffins.

About


A couple of days ago, I posted a Banana Nut Muffin recipe that I said was 3 points, and it was.  But I have wanted to repost the improved version of that, because I can actually get it down to 2 points and its soooo good.  Too good not to share.  So here goes.

Very tasty muffins, and yes they are a good size. Not sure how you got them to be 2 points though??! Is this using the old WW points system? I calculated the recipe using the new PointsPlus system, and they came out at 4 points each!

Yes, Point calculation is old Points, not Points Plus.
