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.
