These actually came out quite good if I do say so myself, ever have a hostess cupcake and can’t wait to bite into it for that center where the cream is?? That’s what this muffin is all about! With a nice chunk of peanut butter inside!!
Ingredients:
3 ripe medium bananas
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter, softened
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 large egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
10 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter (divided into 8 tbsp and 2 tbsp)
Preperation:
Preheat Oven to 325F
Mash bananas in a medium sized bowl, set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
In a large bowl cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add egg whites, bananas, apple sauce, vanilla, and 8 tablespoons better’n peanut butter, and beat at medium speed until thick. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
