Low Fat Banana Muffins (2 Weight Watcher Points)
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. 2 Point Banana Muffins 1/2 cup(s) Egg Beaters 1/3 cup(s) packed brown sugar 1/2 cup(s) light sour cream 1/2 cup(s) fat-free skim milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 large very ripe banana(s) 3/4 cup(s) whole wheat flour 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 tsp table salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, or more to your taste 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with non- stick baking spray. 2. In a large bowl, beat egg beaters and sugar until fluffy about 5 minutes. Beat in sour cream, milk and vanilla. 3. Mash bananas and add to mixture. 4. In a separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add to banana mixture, mixing just until blended. 6. Pour batter into prepared muffin tin. I use ice cream scoop to get equal measure and make less mess. 7. 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. 8. Turn out onto a wire rack and let cool. 9. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts for an additional 1 point making these 3 point muffins. Words do not do these justice. They are light and moist and very tasty. And they are large!! Nice with a cup of joe. And they remain this pretty!!
