Those tiny brown spots on ripe bananas are called sugar spots; fruits that have them make the sweetest muffins. Vegetable oil makes these muffins tender and keeps them from becoming dry. Ingredients:
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1 large egg |
1 large egg white |
3/4 cup mashed ripe banana |
1/3 cup fat-free milk |
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (6 ounces) |
2/3 cup honey-crunch wheat germ |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add banana and milk; beat well.
3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add to sugar mixture; beat just until moist.
4. Spoon batter evenly into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 22 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Place muffins on wire rack.
