Banana muffins
no-stick cooking spray 1 1/2 c. flour 1/4 c. sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt (I use about 1/4 tsp) 1/2 tsp cinnamon 2 egg whites 2 large, ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup) 2/3 c. skim milk (I use water or orange juice) 1/3 c. karo light or dark corn syrup (I add about 1/4 c. chopped nuts - raises the fat content, but improves the taste) Spray 12 (2.5 inch) muffin cups with cooking spray (DO NOT use paper muffin liners - the muffins STICK! -SRM) In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. In large bowl beat egg whites lightly, stir in mashed bananas, milk and corn syrup. Add flour mixture; stir until well blended. Spoon into muffin cups. Bake 400 F 22-25 min. or until firm to touch. This also works well as a quick bread, cook in loaf pan for 35-40 min. or until done. Each muffin provides: 0 g. fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 130 Calories, 3 g protein, 28 g carbohydrate, 200 mg sodium.
