My Favorite Banana Bread Muffins *modified to Be Healthier*

I changed a few things to make this recipe a bit more "clean", and more diet friendly. Either way... delicious!! If you're not on a diet, these are amazing with butter spread over them. Make a loaf or muffins...

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 2  cups white whole wheat flour
• 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 3  bananas, ripe
• 1⁄4 cup  fat free Greek yogurt
• 2  large eggs, beaten lightly
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 3  tablespoons applesauce, unsweetened
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use paper cupcake wrappers in the muffin pan to eliminate the need for a greasing agent and for easy cleanup.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the first four ingredients.
3. Mix in the walnuts.
4. In a separate medium bowl, mix the butter, eggs, yogurt, bananas, and vanilla extract.
5. Fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until the batter is thick but thoroughly moistened.
6. Pour into the muffin cups. Fill 80% of the cups with batter, leaving only a little room for rise.
7. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
