Banana Makeovers

Looking for something healthy to do with those ugly, brown bananas sitting on the counter? Make a yummy, portable snack that offers some protein and fiber! These muffins are free of unhealthy fats, but full of deliciousness. This recipe is also versatile. Want to sweeten them up? Add some chocolate chips. Want a little extra healthy fat and texture? Toss in some walnuts. Craving a big juicy steak? I can't help you there...

1/4 C melted coconut oil

1/4 C plain non-fat Greek yogurt

1t baking soda

1/2 t sea salt

2 eggs

1/3 C apple sauce

1/8 t pure stevia powder, undilluted (or 1 C sugar if morally opposed to stevia)

4 t fiber supplement, unflavored with no sugar or additives

1 1/2 C whole wheat flour

4 bananas

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and spray them with oil (I used coconut oil spray). 

In a large bowl, mix the oil, yogurt, baking soda, salt, eggs, apple sauce, fiber, and sweetener of your choice. Next, add 1/2 C of the flour and 1 banana. Mix again. Alternate flour and bananas, mixing each time until batter is creamy. Fill 12 muffin tins with the batter and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one muffin comes out clean.
