It's been raining all day and I am currently dressed head to toe in grey sweats while my roommate and I watch Golden Girls. We are supposed to go out tonight but are slowly rationalizing why it is okay to stay fastened to the couch instead. The prospect of a batch of sinless muffins strengthens our resolve to do nothing. It feels less gluttonous knowing that these are butter-free and sugar-free. Don't gag, they are still good. Instead of butter, I used apple sauce. Instead of sugar, I used xylitol. The result is a light, fluffy, melt onto your couch sinless treat. Just don't think of the mess you will have to clean up after. That is tomorrow's problem.
1 cup of xylitol
1 1/2 cup of organic applesauce
1 egg
3 mashed bananas
1/2 tsp of salt
2 tbsp of milk
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 of baking soda
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 cup of whole wheat organic flour
1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven at 350 F. In a bowl mix together sugar, applesauce, egg, banana, salt, milk, baking powder, baking soda, flour, and chocolate chips. Stir together until it becomes batter.
Spoon batter into a muffin tin, filling it to the top. Bake in oven for 20-30 minutes. You will know it is done if you stick a fork in it and no batter comes out!
