Gone Bananas!!

So we've all experienced it. You buy bananas, the week gets crazy and you feel like you've gone bananas. Now the bananas you bought are no longer good to just be eaten alone. What to do? What to do? Well, here's what I did. Saturday morning kids up wayyyyy to early. 6:45AM!! I get a quick PiYo workout in then make these delicious muffins. Got a TurboKick workout in while they baked. Now please note that my kids were up and around so we did hit the pause button a few times during the workouts, big glass of water got spilled (twice) right next to me and my yoga mat and some brotherly fights broke out, but I got it done. Refer back to the "gone bananas" statement. Finally came the enjoyment of yummy, warm, fresh from the oven muffins.

Still trying to figure out the picture thing but you can see a picture on my facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/jennbjudd

Also be sure to check out the nutritional info at the bottom :)

Banana Blueberry Muffins

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 organic sugar (evaporated cane juice I buy at Costco)
1/8 tsp stevia (just slightly less than 1/8)
1 egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 8oz. container plain non fat greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mashed banana
Blueberries (I didn't measure, oops. Just eyeballed it, guessing it was around 1/2 cup)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl mix flours, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk egg, sugar and stevia. Add applesauce, whisk. Add greek yogurt, whisk. Add banana, whisk. Add vanilla, whisk. (Whew) Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients then add the wet mixture. Gently fold with a rubber spatula. Add blueberries. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Makes 12 good sized muffins.

The protein may vary depending on the brand of greek yogurt you buy. I used frozen blueberries.When buying frozen fruit always check to make sure there is NO added sugar.
