Yes, these are carbs, but if you make mini muffins, they are 27 calories and .3g fat each (the large version has 143 calories and 2g fat). A nice, sweet, healthful way to curb that craving for sweets! Bonus: the kids LOVE them.
Ingredients:
1/2-3/4 cup agave nectar (you can also use honey or sugar)
2 T canola oil
4 egg whites
1 T vanilla
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
6oz fat free plain yogurt
2 cups flour (I haven't used wheat in this yet, but I am quite sure it would be wonderful)
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
4 mashed bananas
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Mix sugar, oil, egg, vanilla, lemon, and yogurt
3. Add flour and leavening
4. Fold in bananas
5. Fill greased or lined muffin tins about 3/4 full (should make 8 dozen mini muffins or about 18 regular)
For mini muffins, bake 12 minutes. For regular, bake 25 minutes.
These are also delicious with some fresh or frozen blueberries tossed in. Yum.
