Microwave Apple Banana Muffins Fakeout
"2 single serve, almost sugar free muffins! Although they are not traditional, they are very warm and comforty when you just wish you could cheat a bit on the diet. Feel free to substitute splenda for the optional brown sugar or a mixture of spices for the pumpkin pie spice.
Prep time is mostly allowing ingredients to absorb. Measurements were approximated."

I must admit I was kind of skeptical about this recipe, but I was looking for a recipe to use up some oats so I gave it a try and I was very pleasantly surprised how well it worked, although I had to guess how much baking soda to use. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice or all the ingredients necessary to make my own, so I used cinnamon and vanilla extract instead. Definitely a recipe to make again: it really was very good.
