Roasted Banana Muffins

Roasted Banana Muffins

by Pam on March 3, 2013

I have been seeing a lot of roasted banana bread out in the blogosphere and the idea of roasting the bananas intrigued me. I happened to have three over ripe bananas in the freezer to use up so I decided to make the kids some muffins for an after school snack. I first thawed my frozen bananas out then roasted them for 20 minutes. The smell of them roasting is outstanding! Seriously, I was drooling over the smell. I used some whole wheat in the muffins instead of all white flour to make them a bit healthier. The muffins turned out to be flavorful, moist, and super delicious. My son and daughter both loved them and asked if they could have them for breakfast the following day and I loved that they made my house smell amazing while they baked.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then coat a muffin pan with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with tin foil.

Place the thawed over ripe bananas on the baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, roasted bananas, and vanilla then continue beating until well combined.  In a separate bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove together, mix well. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.

Place into the oven and bake 23-25 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool on a rack. Slather with butter and enjoy!

Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Lace Cookies

These delicious cookies are light, crisp and chewy, made with basic ingredients like oats, flour, butter, sugar and spices– then once baked they are sandwiched together with melted dark chocolate. If you’re baking cookies for Holiday parties, or just to leave Santa, these are a must!

Holiday traditions in my family always included baking cookies with the kids. My Mom did it with my brother and I, and she still does it with my children. To ease some of the guilt, I try to include some lighter cookie recipes in the mix and these lace cookies are one of my favorites. Of course, I do practice restraint and tracking (and exercise) helps keep me in check this time of the year.

One thing to keep in mind when baking these cookies is the batter will spread once baked so don’t put them too close together on the cookie sheet. Once baked they will keep well in an airtight container.

Servings: 22 • Size: 1 sandwich • Old Points: 2 pts • Points+: 2 pts
Calories: 66 • Fat: 3 g • Protein: 1 g • Carb: 10 g • Fiber: 0 g • Sugar: 7 g
Sodium: 7 mg • Cholesterol: 6 mg

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp 1% milk
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 oz dark chocolate, melted (calculated with 1 oz only)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and oats; set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine melted butter, milk, honey, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

Drop 1 level teaspoon of batter onto prepared baking sheets leaving space in between, placing only 12 cookies on each sheet because the cookies will spread in the oven.

Bake for 7-9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.

Spread one cookie with a thin layer of melted chocolate and sandwich with another cookie on top. Repeat with remaining cookies. You will only use about 1 oz of chocolate, I calculated accordingly.

Whole Grain Apple Nut Muffins

Whole grain apple muffins made with fresh apple, applesauce, walnuts plus a combination of bran flour, white whole wheat and almond meal with a granola topping.

It’s apple season and I picked up some gala apples at the farmer’s market last week to make a great big batch of crock pot applesauce[1]. Last year I used that applesauce to make an applesauce nut bread[2] which I love, and it inspired me to experiment with almond meal, wheat bran and flax to come up with these delicious muffins. I love how moist they turned out, and I saved the extra in my refrigerator to eat for the week – they stayed moist for days!
