Applesauce Banana Muffins

"This is a re-make of a recipe I've had forever...A great way to use up that one lingering banana in the fruit bowl, and the substitution of whole wheat flour for part of the regular flour as well as the splenda for part of the sugar makes these a bit healthier than lots of muffins out there. And they're delicious! Makes 2 dozen regular size muffins or 1 dozen regular and 1 dozen minis."

  1. I made some changes because it seemed like it would be too sweet as noted. I omitted the artificial sweeter and reduced the brown sugar to a lightly-packed 3/4 cup. I also added 1 tablespoon of oil just to make it a little more moist and tossed in 1/3 cup chopped raisins.<br/><br/>It was awesome! I've also tried it with chopped dates instead of raisins, which is equally good. Knitting Granny, thank you for providing such a great starting point for me to experiment with!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
