Low fat peanut butter banana muffins
Recipe by Emilia
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 Better'n peanut butter (divided into 8 tablespoons and 2 tablespoons)
*NOTE: There's a little extra peanut butter in the center of each muffin to give you the extra peanut butter flavor when you bite in. The reason these are light is the use of Better'n Peanut Butter, (from Trader Joe's). PB2 would work probably work as well. Regular peanut butter would work too but the muffins won't be light anymore!
