Eggless banana muffin

I love baking muffins. My 2 year old son likes muffins and by baking it for him at home I can be sure he eats healthy stuff. We had lot of over ripe banana sitting in the counter. I was debating between banana bread or banana muffin. When I was browsing I saw Saffron hut blog and there was a very easy recipe for a banana muffin. I made some minor changes and tried it out. The muffins are so easy to make and it tastes wonderful. Try it out. Here is the link to the original recipe.

Ingredients

-1 cup all purpose flour
-1/2 cup Whole wheat pastry flour
-4 ripe bananas (blended this nicely)
-3/4 cup sugar
-1/3 cup melted butter (unsalted)

Guilt Free Banana Bread

I wanted to make a whole wheat bread. Had a few over ripe banana's and so I decided to try this. After reading the comments I tweaked the recipe a little. I replaced butter with apple sauce to make it healthy.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup apple sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 ripe big bananas mashed
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup walnuts chopped

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree. Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a bowl mix apple sauce, brown sugar, sugar, baking soda, salt and vanilla essence until it becomes smooth.
3. Mix in the banana's and fold it into the batter.
4. Now add the whole wheat flour and stir until smooth.
5. Finally add the walnuts and mix it in. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake it for 50 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degree, cover the loaf with foil and bake it for another 10 minutes.
6. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before you slice them.

Tastes awesome with hot tea or coffee.
