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!
On to the recipe:
Gather your ingredients
Time to roast the bananas
Whisk all the banana goodness into the batter
Freshly baked and steaming hot
Now – try to have just one – I dare you!
