Banana And Cream Of Wheat Muffins Low Fat Recipes

LOW FAT BANANA MUFFIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F / 205°C. Grease a non-stick muffin tin, or line a muffin tin with quality paper. See the tips in the post about preventing this low fat muffin from sticking to the paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the sugars and eggs using a hand mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds, until everything is mixed. Add in the milk and vanilla extract and beat for 10 seconds on low speed. Add in the mashed bananas and apple sauce, and beat for another 10 seconds until everything is all mixed.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the banana mixture. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together until the batter is just mixed, being careful not to over mix the batter. Set aside and let stand for 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, wash and dry the blueberries. Toss the blueberries in the flour so they are lightly coated.
• Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, reserving a 12-24 blueberries to place on top of the muffins if you desire.
• Evenly divide the batter into the muffin cups. Place the reserved blueberries on top of the muffins, pushing them in so only the tops of the blueberries are not tucked in the batter.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F / 176°C. Bake another 25 minutes or so, until a toothpick inserted into the muffins come out clean.

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS (LOW SUGAR AND OIL FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
• Prep a muffin tray with muffin liners or grease well, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift in the whole wheat flour. Add in oat bran, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk well and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add in your bananas and mash them up if you have not already done so with your whisk or the back of a fork. Add in one egg and mix well. Add the milk, water, vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat the mixture well.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet, first using a whisk to incorporate the batter. Switch to a spatula or a wooden spoon and mix the batter. DO NOT OVERMIX.
• At this point, you can fold in your add-ins. I added in cranberries and walnuts, but you could probably do any other combination of fruits/nuts.
• Spoon the mixture into your greased/lined muffin tins. Bake in your preheated oven until a toothpick to the center comes out clean, or the tops are golden brown (but not burnt!), approximately 20 minutes.
• Allow muffins to cool before serving.

MULTI-GRAIN BANANA MUFFINS (LOW FAT, TOO!)

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients (including the cinnamon and nutmeg) together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Mash the banana until it's nearly smooth--measure once the fruit is mashed, of course.
• Add the egg, oil, sugar, and vanilla.
• After stirring those together, add in the oat-buttermilk mixture.
• Add the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring just until the dry ingredients are absorbed and no large lumps remain.
• Refrain from over-mixing.
• Grease twelve muffin cups.
• Spoon the batter in, filling the cups evenly to about 2/3 or 3/4 full.
• Bake 25-30 minutes, until the top is slightly springy when gently pushed with a finger.
