  1. lovely muffins, i used apple sauce instead of oil as well as 1% buttermilk to make it even lower fat.(is that possible? lol) and splenda brown sugar blend. Its great to have a fat free snack that is yummy.
     
  2. We enjoyed these. Mommy's recent return to following Weight Watchers has the kids asking for more baked goods. So I thought of these! At the request of my kids I left out the raisins. I used soured skim milk and made them as regular sized muffins. But my tins are quite small and I actually got 24 small muffins out of this. A nice afternoon treat!
     
  3. How can these possibly be so healthy? They're delicious! They're a moist, dense muffin, and the frosting and golden raisins make them nice and sweet. I used all Egg Beaters and soured soy milk in place of the buttermilk. I also made them as full-sized muffins, since I don't have a mini-muffin tin, and got 12 nice, puffy muffins that were done in just over 15 minutes. I will certainly be making these again. They're a great change from traditional banana muffins.
     
  4. I just found this recipe on the Weight Watchers site, and they say it is 4 points per muffin, not 2. I just entered my modified version into their calculator (applesauce in stead of oil, fat free half and half instead of buttermilk), and it still calculates to 3 points per muffin.
     
  5. These are little gems!! Loved these!! Only problem is it is hard to stop at just eating one!! :) My batch made about 28 mini-muffins. Will make again for sure! Thanks mariposa! ;)
