Banana Blueberry Muffins

These may be small muffins, but they're delicious and full of flavour! I actually got this recipe from the Weight Watchers website. Their recipe used 2 large eggs but I had egg white substitute in the fridge so I used 1/4 cup of that instead. I also added blueberries. I think next time I'll try this recipe with 1/4 cup of apple sauce in place of the oil.




Banana Blueberry Muffins
Makes 12 servings

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup egg white substitute
  • 1/4 cup unflavoured oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325F and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Combine sugars, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
  3. In a measuring cup, measure the oil to 1/4 cup, then add egg substitute until it reaches the 1/2 cup mark. Add the milk, vanilla and mashed bananas and give it a good stir with a fork.
  4. Stir the wet mixture into the dry just until combined, then stir in the blueberries.
  5. Divide batter among the 12 muffin cups and bake for about 18 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
