BANANA NUT MUFFINS WITH SPLENDA

Steps:

• Mix together first 4 ingredients, Sift in next 3 ingredients and mix well. Add nuts. You may need to add an extra teaspoon or two milk if the bananas are not really ripe. I use splenda as my sugar substitute.
• Bake at 350 degrees.
• (may use 1/2 wheat & 1/2 white flour - makes a little more dense in texture).
