You must try these! Use a potato masher for very quick prep time.
3 large or 4 small very ripe bananas...
mash well in a bowl and add in no particular order:
1 egg
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1 cup oatmeal (not quick)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup low-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
4 dried apricots, chopped
1/2 large carrot, grated
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Mix well, using a wooden spoon. Ladle almost to the top for 12 large muffins/cupcakes; they won't rise too much. I recommend using liners in the pan. Sprinkle with:
Wheat Germ and Cinnamon
Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool; they are very moist and good keepers. Joe likes them right out of the oven. Check out the low sugar and even lower fat content. Unlike traditional, too-sweet banana bread, these burst with natural flavors.
♥-healthy... Buon Appetito!
