Join the discussionI had bananas to use up, so made these this morning as soon as I saw the post. Oh they are yummy! I did add the cocoa, and used white choc chips instead of regular. Chopped pecans would be very good too. Thank you for posting such a nice treat this morning.
Glad you liked it!
I have mixed my batter and it is extremely dry, Is it supposed to be like normal muffin batter? Is there no water or oil in this recipe, just applesauce and egg white for moisture?
I had to add milk is was so dry it wouldn’t combine. Also it only made 10 :s still baking so will give a verdict later
So I baked these up and they came out perfectly! I was surprised they weren’t as sweet as I thought they would be but that’s a good thing! It just shows how much sugar is in most muffins. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!!
I entered this recipe into my weight watchers recipe builder and it showed that each muffin is 6 pts plus??
Yes Anna I recalculated and you are correct.
Will these be just as tasty using all purpose flour? That’s all I have on hand. :-\
Also, I entered these into a calorie counter that I use to track my food and they’re almost 200 calories each.
Jenn I recalculated and they are about 186 calories each.
Yes they should, however your points could go up.
I made these using sorghum for some of the brown sugar and they were very moist and yummy! Next time I will add black walnuts, I used raisins this time
That sounds delicious, Kim! We’re so glad you liked it!
