Just wanted to let you know that I’m making the whole wheat banana muffins for the 2nd time b/c they were so good the first time. Now I have a “go to” recipe for that overripe banana instead of throwing it out :)
Loving your site. Thank you!

I made these today after seeing them on Danica’s Daily and I LOVE them. I love the texture and moistness and even the sweetness level.

I wonder if they could be made savory. I’m thinking they would be so awesome with garlic and something other than banana, too.

From Charlene: “I did not peel the apples and the sauce was just fine and yummy.”

Just wanted to respond to houseoftwirls.
Re: apples sauce

When I make apple sauce: I take a big cookie sheet (with the half inch sides) and cut the apples in half place apples cut side down add some water to just come maybe 1/4 inch. bake at 350 until fork tender.

I let them cool till I can hold them. I scoop out the seeds, and any part of the core that is stringy or tough. The I pop them in my blend peel and everything and just buzz till smooth.

no peeling necessary, and it make the most sweet and yummy apple sauce ever!

Gearing up to try these, but I have to ask if Charlene from the Sept. 9th post or anyone else might have a secrete to peeling apples? I despise the thought of spending all that time,(because let’s face it, I’m terrible at peeling anything and I am over-whelmed with my three girls as it is). I catch myself fantasizing about the drawer elf I might be able to buy one day to do all of “those” things!
Thanks in advance!!!

Yummy!!! I have been looking for a low point muffin – and these hit it. I also had no applesauce in the house and so made my own (had plenty of apples), just thought I would share as I could not get over how EASY it was to make applesauce!!! Here is the recipe I used:

Allie – You could try sour cream, a flavored yogurt or just milk. I’m not sure how it will come out though so let us know what works for you!

hey I have all the ingredients except the yogurt. Do you think it would still work if I didn’t include it?

Hi Meg!
Glad you like the texture. I’m purposefully didn’t make them sweet, just not a fan of the sweet muffin. I do have a banana bread-recipe that may give you some more ideas… http://greenlitebites.com/2009/01/17/banana-bundt-bread/

Thanks for the feedback!

Tried these this evening, doubled the recipe and used whole wheat pastry flour for a more tender crumb, baked it as a loaf rather than muffins but the texture turned out muffin like and very moist, however, not at all sweet. The bread is still tasty but I would have preferred it sweeter, next time I will add more honey. Thanks for an easy healthy recipe!

Ronni,
I love these muffins, I make them every-weekend for a quick breakfast during the week.

FYI I made them just measuring it out and they were good.
Then I purchased a scale and started weighing it out… and the texture was so much better and they are now AMAZING!

Just made a double batch. The house smells fantastic and I can’t wait to try one for my afternoon snack. I’m really hoping my toddler likes them. To my horror, he’s turned into one of those kids who won’t eat anything unless it’s pressed into nugget form. OK, I’m exagerating a little, but I’m anxious to get some real, healthy food into him somehow. Hope he likes them! Thanks so much for everything you do!

I love these banana muffins!!! I can’t believe they are so low in calories and fat. My family loves them. I am always trying to find “healthy low fat recipes” and usually they run the other way! They have no idea about these. I can’t wait to try your chocolate cookies.

This is so funny..I am already a subscriber to your blog and Green Lite Bites but today when I googled “whole wheat banana muffins” in hopes of finding a tried and true recipe (and hopefully with points values), YOUR site came up! How funny and cool. OH– and I shouldn’t be suprised..it was my search for microwave, brown bagged popcorn that led me to your site in the first place. I feel so blessed. Keep up the good cookin’ :)
