Bananna Berry Muffins




These muffins make a great breakfast or snack. They are really delicious, and the best part is they are low fat and low sugar! The banana in this recipe is not overpowering and makes the muffins really sweet and moist.

Banana Berry Muffins
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2)
1/4 cups low fat cottage cheese, small curd
1 whole egg white
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cups white flour
1/4 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1- 1/4 cup frozen mixed berries, divided

In a large bowl, combine sugar, mashed bananas, cottage cheese, egg white, and vanilla extract. In another small bowl, combine flours, oats, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in 1 cup frozen berries.
Preheat oven to 365 degrees.
Place muffin liners in a muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full with batter. To the top of each muffin, add a couple of the remaining frozen berries. Sprinkle top of each muffin with a dash of sugar.
Bake for about 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
