Breakfast Banana Muffins

 

 

I have made these muffins a few times recently. They are very simple to make, cheap and great for using up over ripe bananas.

I still like to bake treats even though I am watching what I eat.  We all prefer homemade cakes and treats so I can't really punish the family just because I am cutting down.  Just because I have baked them, doesn't mean I have to eat them (all!).  So I just have one with a cuppa and count it in.  I am putting all my recipes on Sparkpeople so I can add them to my day easily.  I use Sparkpeople to log my food daily, it helps keep me in check!

These Muffins are approx 150 calories each. If I have one for breakfast I have a yogurt too or some fruit.

I never eat bananas on their own but I love banana loaf and I'm sure I'll love those breakfast muffins. (I've been thinking of making banana cupcakes with chocolate buttercream. Not exactly diet food!).

I just used your recipe but instead substituted sunflower oil with coconut oil, they came out very yummy and rather moist. Thanks =)xx
