BANANA MUFFINS, DIABETIC AND DELICIOUS



Banana Muffins, Diabetic and Delicious image

I met this muffin on the Christine Cushing Live show and had to try it. For my money this is the ultimate banana muffin when it comes to the health aspect and just plain good taste. This can be made with some chopped nuts in place of the blueberries (or a small amount in addition to the berries). The nuts will add fat but nuts are heart healthy fat, you know the good kind.

This is my version of a Company's Coming recipe I made suitable for a diabetic diet. Oil may be replaced with more applesauce if you're watching your fat intake. You can also add rasins, blueberries, apples and cinnamon or anything else you can think of.

Got this one from Kellogg's about 8 years ago. If you prefer, you can use all mashed banana rather than one mashed and one sliced. I've also tried adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to make this a real treat
