Carol's Low Fat Banana Bran Muffins

Submitted by Carol Elizabeth

"This is a recipe that I had and "tweaked" to make it healthier and lower in fat and calories. They are good for breakfast with a nice hot cup of coffee. I filled the muffin pan pretty full and got 21 muffins. I did line the muffin pan with baking papers that I also sprayed with cooking spray."
