In the process I discovered another amazing food blog filled with a treasure trove of lightened up comfort food recipes you won't want to miss.
Recipe Notes
This skinny banana oat yogurt blender muffin recipe has NO butter, sugar, oil, or flour so in addition to being light and wholesome, they are also gluten free.
Greek yogurt and honey are called for. I used fat free plain Greek yogurt which is now zero points on the new WW Freestyle Program.
According to my calculations each of these flourless blender muffins has 3 WW Freestyle SmartPoints. I substituted Truvia baking blend (affiliate link) for the honey, which didn't change the points value.
The best part about this easy healthy banana oat muffins recipe is that the batter is made in a blender, so there is less cleanup!

I forgot to put the liquid ingredients in first, I had a lot of trouble getting them mixed in my old blender. I ended up with more than 12 muffins. I didn't spray the papers so they really stuck. They were brown on the top and bottom but still gooey inside, maybe because I used blueberries. . Otherwise, for a low point muffin they tasted OK. I will try them again and try to adjust my method.
