Roasted Banana Muffins

I have been mulling over doing a lighter banana muffin.  However, when you do a lighter muffin, sometimes the flavor can take a beating.  How can I give a banana muffin a light and fluffy texture while packing a flavor punch.  Then it hit me – roasting the bananas.  This recipe couldn’t be easier – some roasted bananas, a bit of spice with cinnamon and nutmeg, and the piece de resistance – plain greek nonfat yogurt.  Next time you want to make a banana muffin that will pack a flavor punch, make a batch of these!

  7. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  8. In a another bowl, mix together the sugar, egg, vanilla extract and yogurt.
  9. Whisk in the roasted bananas and mix thoroughly.

  13. Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
