Flourless banana mish-mash muffins!

Hey, guys! I just created a recipe based on some leftover stuff in my pantry, and came up with this:

I have some baking right now! :) They're going to be yummy -- and diet-friendly! :D Feel free to try it out, and let me know what you think.

edit: They didn't rise enough! My second batch I added some baking soda. We'll see. They're really yummy though. And could also be drop cookies if all else fails.

Ohh! I want to try these... I should try just using stuff from my pantry sometime....

Awesome! Thanks for posting.

Yay! :)

My second batch was more fluffed up. So. Add baking soda to that. :D

wow, only 49 calories?? I have a question though: 1/2 cup coconut - coconut what? coconut milk? shredded coconut?

Shredded coconut! :) Adds texture.

What size are these? 25 grams per serving sounds really small to me, but I have nothing but imagination to base that on. Can you send up a picture perhaps?

Hi Lizzle,

hope you see this soon, because i really want to try these muffins and i'm going grocery shopping tonight.  I'm not a big baker and i really want to get them right - so i have a few questions:

- how much baking soda did you add to the 2nd batch to make them fluffy?

- are these regular sized muffins or are they mini muffins?

- what do you mean by "softened" bran cereal?  "softened" how?  crushed?  soaked in liquid?  water?  milk? 

- and what kind of bran cereal did you use?

thanks a million!!!

Hi anonita,

When I made these muffins, I added about a tsp of baking soda, and that seemed to work.  Also, it made 12 regular sized muffins, so I assume Lizzle meant 24 mini muffins.  For the bran cereal, I simply added AllBran to the wet mixture and let it sit for a while to soften before I added the rest of the dry ingredients.  I also added some cinnamon, nutmeg and a dash of allspice, plus a tbsp of maple syrup for flavour. 

I hope that helps!
