Banana Oat Muffins

This recipe is a great recipe for breakfast on the go! It uses oats instead of flour, so the carbs are VERY LITTLE! I just made these muffins, and right out of the oven with a little spray butter, they are WONDERFUL! Like mini banana breads! And only 165 calories!


Recipe:


  • 1 cup low fat (nonfat) plain Greek yogurt. 
  • 2 1/2 cups of old fashioned oats (I used quick oats from Great Value)
  • 2 eggs (could use egg whites)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 bananas (could use more, will add more banana taste)

Directions:

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor, or use electric mixer. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.


Welcome!

Ever get discouraged when your favorite dish doesn't fit into your "diet" of the week?! Well, if you're like me, you battle this constantly. SO, I have decided to experiment with all of my favorite recipes and try to cut the fat out (hence the extremely creative title of this blog ;) ) Tune in weekly to see what recipes I've tried, succeeded and, more than likely, failed at "cutting the fat out". What better excuse to eat, right? :)
