Time 40m

Yield 18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unbleached white flour
2 medium bananas (about 7-inch long)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup Quaker Oats (grind in food processor to desired texture)
6 ounces nonfat banana yogurt
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 egg whites
olive oil (spray works best)

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 400°F, and coat the baking tins with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Combine the dry ingredients (flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder) in a large bowl and mix well.
Mash the bananas into a pulp and then combine with the banana yogurt until thoroughly mixed.
in a separate bowl, whip the egg whites for 3 minutes until they are somewhat stiff and fluffy.
Then mix the egg whites with the yogurt and banana mixture.
Finally, add the raisins.
Now pour the wet ingredients (banana/yogurt/egg/raisin mixture) into the dry ingredients (flour/oats/nutmeg/cinnamon/baking powder/baking soda).
Mix until just combined (make sure nothing stays dry).
Fill the muffin tins and bake for about 20 minutes.
Cool for 5 minutes and then remove from tins and place on cooling racks to cool further.
