Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup mashed banana
2 tablespoons Truvia Brown Sugar Blend
2 large eggs
3/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/3 cup Truvia Baking Blend
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat the mashed banana and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Beat in the eggs, applesauce and vanilla.
Whisk together the white flour, white whole wheat flour, Truvia Baking Blend, baking soda, baking powder and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Using a spatula or larger spoon, slowly stir the the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture just until incorporated.
Whisk together 2 teaspoons sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.
Fill the prepared muffin pan cups between 2/3 and 3/4 full with batter (bake in batches if necessary). Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over tops of muffins.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean and the centers spring back when lightly touched.
Allow muffins to cool slightly in pan before removing to a wire rack and cool completely.
Store any remaining muffins in an airtight container.

3 PointsPlus (Old plan)

We helped keep these muffins low in fat by substituting the butter in the original recipe for an equal amount of ripe mashed banana. Bananas with more brown spots will be sweeter and mash better than unripe, or less ripe, bananas.

Alternatively, you can bake this batter in a standard muffin pan (12-cup) and get 12 large muffins.

Possible mix-ins include:

Chopped nuts
Chopped raisins or dried cranberries
Mini chocolate chips

Be sure to adjust your WW Points accordingly when making any ingredient substitutions.
