No-Fat Banana Applesauce Muffins

"I got this recipe out of a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and it is one of my stand-by recipes when I am watching my calories and fat. Since I am doing just that right now, thought I would put it on the zaar for easy access and hopefully someone else likes this recipe as good as I do. (I prefer to sub 3/4 of the white flour for whole wheat and use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I think fresh nutmeg is the key in this!)"

  1. I followed the instructions as written just to see how the muffins taste. Next time I will try to add some diced apples.

  2. These were so good. I added some vanilla, mini chocolate chips and used egg whites. They came out so moist and fluffy. It also added a crumble mixture of 1/4 cup of Brown sugar, 2 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp of butter to the top of the muffins before baking. Delicious!!
     
  3. Loved the muffins. I too would double the cinnamon and nutmeg.
     
  4. My husband, 17 year old daughter, 14 year old son and 18 month old son raved about them.
     
  5. I made these muffins but used 1 Cup of WW flour, 3/4 C. Quick cook oats The sugar I used was all Brown Sugar added 1/2 C. Choco chips added 1tsp of Vanilla. And they turned out DELICIOUS!! They took an additional 4 mins in the oven so my total bake time was 19 mins. I just ate 3, and don't feel guilty at all!

Tweaks

  1. I added 2 tsp rum extract and 1 tsp fresh ginger paste. Flavor was divine!!!
     
  2. These are fabulous. I used pumpkin pie spice mix + 1/4 tsp of cinnamon instead of the nutmeg and also swapped out sugar for brown sugar. Definitely making them again!!!
     
  3. I haven't made these as written, but based on two small changes I made to the recipe these muffins are really, really good. Instead of using a 1/2 cup of sugar I used a 1/2 cup of raw honey, and I added about 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts. No fat, no processed sugar.
     
  4. I made these for me and my roommates and we loved them! Instead of having a cup of sugar just use a cup of unsweetened applesauce and added fresh blueberries and raspberries. Also I used only one cup of gluten free flour mix and 3/4 cup oats to add a different texture! I hope you enjoy

<p>I was born and raised in Abilene, KS....the same small town that Dwight D. Eisenhower was raised in. After moving around a lot for 20 years, my family and I now live within 10 miles of Abilene. <br /><br />My dear husband and I just celebrated our 39th year anniversary in October 2015. I have two great children and 5 beautiful grandchildren, ages 14, 12, 10, 5 and 4. They have given me so many precious moments to hold dear to my heart and so many grey hairs...and I wouldn't trade these days for anything. They are my everything. <br /><br />I love to cook and try new recipes. I stumbled onto recipezaar a few years ago and it is now the only place I go looking for recipes. I love the wide variety of recipes and usually anything I search for, will provide me with many wonderful recipes to choose from. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1535/cheesesticker.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/EditBeforeandAfterSTICKER.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/personal/FRENCH-foodfun.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/derf16/food%20photography%20series/MuffinLovesticker.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Kaffee-sticker.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/PastastickerJPEG.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Flourpowersticker.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/SoupsandsaladSTICKER.jpg" alt="" /></p>
