Banana Muffins
Recently, I was craving something slightly sweet, a bread or muffin, but also low in calories. I perused old recipes that I had saved from Weight Watchers Community Message Boards from YEARS ago. I ran across this one, had all the ingredients on hand and decided to give it a whirl.
Boy, am I glad I did!
This muffin was moist, flavorful, delicious, AND low in points. Since I am following Weight Watchers right now, every single food item that is low in points and tastes good becomes my “new best friend”. This recipe is no exception and I envision serving it Thanksgiving morning or whenever we have company over. Next time, I may spray the liners with cooking spray as the muffins “stuck” a little bit to the liner.
Bon appétit!
