My Banana Muffin recipe

MY BANANA MUFFIN -- YUMMY & GUILT FREE

Well, who wouldn't want to purge on banana muffins? With this recipe, you can purge all you like, for breakfast, brunch or tea! These carb and potassium rich muffins are only 145 calories each! Slurp!




Ingredients:

Wet:
Ripe bananas - 4
Egg - 1
Oil - 1/4 cup
White sugar - 1/4 cup
Vanilla syrup - 1/2 tsp

Dry:
All purpose flour - 11/2 cup
Baking powder - 3/4 tbsp
Baking soda - 3/4 tbsp
Salt - 1/2 tbsp

Garnish:
Chopped almonds

Procedure:

1. Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. Sift them together slowly.
2. Heat the oven to 375 F. Fill dough into muffin cups about half way up.
3. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top of each muffin.
4. Take them out after 18 - 20 minutes when they have a golden crust.
5. Let them cool down and enjoy!

Yields: 14 muffins


Notes:

You may want to reduce the amount of flour to 1 or 11/4 cups, depending on how soft or dense you want the muffins to be.
This is not a very sweet recipe, most of the sweetness comes from the bananas as I have added very little white sugar.
You can add unsalted butter instead of oil, about 1/3 cup.
