My husband is not a sweets eating guy, but if I make it healthy he will eat what I bake!
I decided I wanted to come up with a really healthy and hearty muffin. I added all sorts of good stuff and used yogurt instead of butter or oil. I have to say these muffins are really tasty, and good for you too! Give it a whirl for your guy!
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 very ripe bananas
1 cup Sugar Twin brown sugar replacement
1/2 stick of butter melted
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
2 vanilla yogurts (I used Activia)
1/8 cup Flax Seeds or more
1/8 cup Oat Bran
1/2 cup toasted Walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and butter muffin tins or use the paper muffin cups, and use pan spray on the inside (the muffins are sticky)
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside
Mash two of the bananas with a fork
Using a kitchen aide or an electric mixer with a wire whisk, whip the other two bananas and sugar substitute for at least three minutes
Add the melted butter, eggs, yogurts, vanilla and almond extract and beat well
Mix in the dry ingredients including flax seeds and oat bran till just incorporated
Fold in the nuts and and the mashed bananas
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins about half way
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 18 o 22 minutes
Let cool and slather with butter

Healthy and hearty! They look really delicious Cheryl.
That's interesting that you added almond extract in there! Must add a nice, sweet hint of flavor. I suppose you could use whole wheat here too?
I will have to keep this recipe since I always seem to have ripe bananas around my house. Thanks!
He is one lucky fellow. These look delicious and the filling is a real surprise. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
