2 medium ripe bananas |
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour |
1/4 cup splenda sugar substitute |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup all-bran cereal |
1 cup skim milk |
1/4 cup egg substitute |
1/4 cup oil replacement (prune puree) |
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat over to 400f and lightly grease muffin tin or line with paper.
2. Set aside.
3. Peel bananas and mash (or slice one).
4. Set aside.
5. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
