Started off healthy banana muffins

I found a healthy recipe for banana nut bread today and decided to make it not so healthy :) I figured, no fat banana nut bread just didn’t sound as appealing. First I substituted a loaf with muffins, nixed the nuts and added a bit of cinnamon and Heath crunch. Since the only non-healthy thing is the Heath, I’m going to go ahead and say they are still pretty good for you and don’t contain any fat.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Dash cinnamon
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup sugar (I use raw)
3 bananas
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
Heath crunch

Mix the flours, powder, soda and cinnamon together and set aside.
Mix remaining ingredients together and then add to the dry mix. Add Heath crunch. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake 18-20 minutes at 350.

According to the recipe card, these muffins have zero fat and 182 calories.

Fudge Brownie Cake with Raspberry Sauce

1 1/2 C sugar
3/4 C flour
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted
1/2 C cocoa
1 1/2 t vanilla
Pinch salt
3 eggs

Heat oven to 350 and grease a round 8 or 9 inch pan. Mix all ingredients and pour into pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until the top is dry.

While the cake is baking, make the raspberry sauce.
3 T sugar
2 t cornstarch
1/3 C water
1 pkg (10oz) raspberries in syrup, thawed and undrained.

Cook all over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Continue boiling for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove saucepan from heat and strain sauce to remove seeds. Sauce can be served warm or cool. Best if served immediately.

Sorry no picture, it was eaten too quickly. Trust me, it’s good and worth making as its super easy.
