Deliciousness

So this is by far becoming my new favorite recipe.  I LOVE, luv, LUV how the house smells with it and never mind that they are tasty, moist, delicious and kinda healthy!  The original recipe called for 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour but I opted for wheat flour instead.  Based upon the ingredients...it 317 cal, 5g protein, 39g carb, 2g fiber.

So - maybe not the best for you but they are good!  Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!!!

1 1/2 c wheat flour
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c mashed ripe banana
1 lg egg
1/4 c 50/50 butter blend spread (suggested Smart Balance)
1/4 c 1% Buttermilk
3 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 c + 2 T chopped walnuts

1.  Heat oven to 350*F.  Coat 8 cups of a standard size muffing pan with cooking spray.
2.  Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in bowl.
3.  Mix banana, egg, spread, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract in large bowl until smooth.  Gradually add flour mixture and stir until blended.  Add 1/3 cup of the walnuts and mix thoroughly.
4.  Fill muffin cups three-quarters full.  Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons walnuts over tops.
5.  Bake until a wooden pick instered into center of muffin comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
