No Butter Banana-Walnut Muffins

I was trolling the Internet to find a recipe for Banana muffins that are not loaded with butter/sugar. So after browsing through a few recipes from different sites, I came up with this one and the muffins turned out moist and yummy.

Prep Time: 40 mins (15 minutes prepping and 25 minutes baking)

Serves: 10 muffins

Ingredients:  Bananas - 3 overripe, Eggs - 1, Sugar - 1/3 cup, Applesauce - 1/4 cup, Vanilla extract - 1 tsp, All purpose flour - 1 cup, Baking soda - 1 tsp, Baking Powder - 2 Tbsps,  Walnuts - 1/4 cup, roughly chopped

Bake Away...
> Preheat the oven to 350 F
> In a bowl, mash the bananas and sugar until there are no big chunks. Add the egg and combine well
> Add applesauce and vanilla and fold into the banana mash
> In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and baking powder
> Add this to the banana mash and gently combine everything
>Fold in the walnuts
> Line the Muffin pan with paper liners and scoop in about 2 Tbsp of mix into each tin
> Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean

My Thoughts..
> You could add a little more sugar if you want, I found that this was just right but most may find that they want more sweetness

Enjoy the delicious and healthy muffins for Breakfast or as a dessert!
