NO-FAT BANANA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS



No-Fat Banana Applesauce Muffins image

I got this recipe out of a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and it is one of my stand-by recipes when I am watching my calories and fat. Since I am doing just that right now, thought I would put it on the zaar for easy access and hopefully someone else likes this recipe as good as I do. (I prefer to sub 3/4 of the white flour for whole wheat and use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I think fresh nutmeg is the key in this!)

BANANA - APPLESAUCE - BLUEBERRY AND WALNUT FAT-FREE QUICK BREAD



Banana - Applesauce - Blueberry and Walnut Fat-Free Quick Bread image

I was looking for something more healthy for a quick breakfast or snack. This is a great moist quick bread that comes together quickly and husband thinks is good too. It's good plain or with a "touch" of peanut butter (a favorite of my husband) across the top. I divide this into two 8 x 4 loaf pans instead of one 9 x 5 pan. It bakes quicker, stays moist, and goes a bit farther without my husband thinking he's not getting enough too.

Provided by Linda Marie

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 16 slices (from two loaves), 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 over-ripe bananas
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I've used up to a total of 1 cup of applesauce if the mixture seems too stiff or dry)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350.
  • Spray two 8 x 4 loaf pans with non-stick spray.
  • In large bowl, blend together bananas, lemon juice, applesauce and brown sugar. I use a hand-held blender, which purres everything quickly and evenly.
  • In another large bowl, wisk together dry ingredients.
  • Add to dry mixture blueberries and nuts and toss until flour coated. This helps to prevent the berries and nuts from settling to the bottom during baking.
  • Add flour-berry/nut mixture to the moist-banana mixture. Mix together by hand folding contents until all is moistened being careful not to overmix.
  • Divide final mixture into the two loaf pans, spreading contents evenly. Place in oven center for about 35 to 40 minutes, until tooth pick comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown. I've found the tooth pick test happens first but wait about 5 or so more minutes for the tops to brown.
  • Remove from oven and cool. Even better when served the next day. I cut the loaves into 1 inch thick slices, serving 2 per person.
  • I've also substitued coarsely chopped sweet cherries (1 cup) and cinnamon (1 tsp) for the blueberries and cardamom. Very, Very good too, for all those cherry lovers out there!

APPLESAUCE BANANA MUFFINS



Applesauce Banana Muffins image

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.

BANANA APPLESAUCE CRANBERRY GLUTEN FREE MUFFINS

Provided by Linda Mericle @bakermom2

Categories     Other Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
1/3 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) applesauce, unsweetened
1 - banana, overripe and slightly mashed
1 - egg
1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon or pumpkin pie seasoning
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
3/4 cup(s) gluten free baking mix
1/8 teaspoon(s) xanthum gum
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/3 cup(s) dried cranberries
- cinnamon sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375. In a mixing bowl put the melted butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, smashed banana and applesauce. Whisk this together.
  • In another bowl whisk the GF baking mix, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and xanthum gum.
  • Mix the wet ingredients with the dry. Stir gently until mixed. It too runny, add a little more baking mix. Then add the Cranberries. I just added a big handful. Gently stir in.
  • Spoon into prepared muffin pans. Sprinkle tops with the cinnamon sugar. Bake for about 12 minutes or until toothpick comes out with crumbs, not batter. Let cool slightly before moving. Do not cover until totally cool. GF items do not seem, in my experience, to like steam.

BANANA APPLESAUCE



Banana Applesauce image

I read about this side dish on another site and was intrigued. I had never heard of this combination before, you see. When I googled for the recipe, I got two versions, the one below which is from vegweb.com, and a much simpler one, which, I confess, is the one I tried. For this version you peel a banana and mash it in a bowl with a fork or potato masher. (You can soften the banana in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds, if needed.) Add a can of applesauce to the mashed banana. You can puree the mixture or simply mash it with the potato masher which will usually get the mixture smooth.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small granny smith apples
4 small bananas
1/4 teaspoon apple-brandy extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar (and or or caster sugar)
1/2-3/4 cup water (start with 1/2, add more if necessary)

Steps:

  • Peel, quarter, core and slice apples. Chop bananas. Combine both in in a large saucepan; add remaining ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil; cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until apple is pulpy. Reduce heat to low or medium and whisk/stir until pretty well mashed; remove from heat and continue whisking/mashing until it is as smooth as you like it.
