Banana Muffins are so good, and this lower version is great, it is delicious!
Considering a regular banana muffin starts at about 350 calories and can be much more, one of these muffins is 204 calories, 4 WW Smart Points, and has much lower fat. I do not miss the full-fat version at all!
EASY TO MAKE! NO MIXER NEEDED! Mix everything by hand in one bowl!
Use very ripe bananas for a strong banana taste! The blacker the better!
Use any berries you like, or any combination! Pictured is blueberries and strawberries.
Give it a try! You will love them!
See pictures how I make them in the slideshow below.
Enjoy!
