Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, mashed bananas, egg whites, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix to maintain a light texture.
Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by spraying each cup lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
