Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and slightly chunky. Add the egg whites, granulated sugar, applesauce, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as it can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 8

Enjoy these low-fat banana muffins as a delicious and guilt-free treat!
