Here is a recipe for Banana-Blueberry-Cornmeal Muffins that comes out great and is only 100 calories per muffin.
Banana-Blueberry-Cornmeal Muffins- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (from 3 large bananas, about 12 oz total)
- 1/2 cup skim milk or low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup Splenda (optional, depends on how sweet you want your muffins)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup egg beaters (or two egg whites)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (5 oz) fresh or frozen blueberries
Whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and flours. In a large bowl, stir together bananas, milk, honey, Splenda, lemon juice, egg beaters, and vanilla. Fold cornmeal mixture into banana mixture just until combined. Gently fold blueberries into batter.
Spoon batter into a muffin tin coated with cooking spray (you can use paper liners coated with cooking spray if you want), filling to the brims. Bake at 375 degrees until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Makes 12 muffins at about 100 calories per muffin.
I usually make a little frosting for each muffin using 1 tbsp nonfat cream cheese and 1 tsp Spenda per muffin.
I've also subbed 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips and 5 oz diced cherries for the blueberries. This increases the calories to about 120 per muffin.
