Lowfat Strawberry Banana Muffins

A healthier version of a favorite breakfast treat! Bananas and strawberries lend a natural sweetness to these delicious and moist muffins.

These did come out remarkably well for low-fat muffins.  They are a bit on the chewy side vs. crumbly, but the fruit taste is very strong, which makes them enjoyable.  When baking you really do have to test these with a toothpick in a few different spots.  The batter is bound to stay a bit gooey right next to the fruit, so make sure your muffins are cooked all the way!

INGREDIENTS:

       2 c. flour

       1/2 c. brown sugar

       1/2 tsp baking soda

       1 tsp baking powder

       3/4 tsp cinnamon

       3/4 to 1 c. unsweetened applesauce (start with 3/4 C and add more, as necessary)

       1 1/2 tsp vanilla

       2 c. sliced strawberries

       2 mashed bananas

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix all dry ingredients together.

(My mixture looked super dry, so I added in the extra 1/4 cup of applesauce.  All better!)

 

Fold in strawberries. (I sliced my strawberries rather large because I didn’t want them to be complete mush in the muffins.)

 

Divide into muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Bake until tops of muffins are firm and golden, about 20 minutes. Place on a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Turn muffins out onto rack and cool completely.
