Sinless Choco-Banana Muffins





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!

  1. Amber, Amber, Amber.... First of all, there`s a tallboy of beer in your ingredients photo. Second, your directions say "butter". Sinless or in denial???

  2. The beer is courtesy of my assistant chef and taste tester. As for the butter, simple typing error. I can assure you, it is nowhere in these muffins! Way to keep me honest!
