Flourless Banana Nut Muffins

Lauren found a recipe on Pinterest for some healthy banana muffins.  We made a few changes to it and what resulted were spectacular, moist, low fat muffins that disappeared quickly!

In a food processor, process the oatmeal for 20 seconds and then add in the rest of the following ingredients:

  • 2.5 cups oatmeal (process this for 20s before adding the rest)
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 2 ripe peeled bananas, baked in peel until blackened at 350.
  • 1 dash kosher salt (use less if you're using table salt)
  • a pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup plain low fat greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 t cinnamon
When that comes together, add:
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped bittersweet chocolate (optional)
  • 1/2 cup dates (raisins, prunes, or other dried fruit is fine)
Pour this batter into a greased muffin tin and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

OH SO GOOD!
