I woke up this morning to some brown bananas. And, before discovering all the healthy recipes, I used to throw brown bananas away because, well, they’re not very appetizing. But this morning I saw them and I was because that meant it was baking time. I just so happened to have some leftover pumpkin as well.
non-stick spray much?
These recipes make 6 muffins each.
Banana Muffins
3/4 cup of flour
1 rounded tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 tsp each baking soda, baking powder
2 tblsp egg whites
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 mashed bananas
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
3/4 cup & a little bit more of pure pumpkin puree
1 rounded tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 tsp each baking soda, baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tblsp egg whites
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and you’ll have to mix it for a good 2-3 minutes before it all comes together.
Use the toppings of your choice. I had some walnuts & dark chocolate chips on hand, so I topped the muffins & snacked on a couple walnut pieces in the process.
Bake for 14 minutes.
Sooooo good. It’s already a hot, sunny day outside so I thought a smoothie would be fitting to go along with one of the muffins.
Blend up:
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1 cup diet cran-pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons vanilla nonfat yogurt
handful of spinach
1 banana
pinch of xanthan gum
I forgot the chia seeds. Grrrrrrraghhh. But I topped it with pomegranate seeds! Yum.
I have to get my workout in now because at 1 pm, I’ll be watching Steve Jobs deliver the Apple Keynote at WWDC. I am an Apple fanatic. Judge me if you want to.
Off to go rollerblading now! It’s a beautiful day here in Windsor & I hope it is where you are as well
