Low Fat Banana Muffins

Banana in baking never fails. Till now, not even a single baking dish using banana went to the dust bin from my kitchen. because of this reason, I confidently bake any dish that calls for banana. If you remember, I have posted a lemon curd sponge recipe from weight waters cookbook that I picked from the nearest library. I have also bookmarked couple of recipes from that book including this banana muffins. The recipe given in that book was for 12 muffins and I halved it and baked only 6 muffins for me and the husband.

As usual, the result is super soft and spongy muffins with banana flavor. Now to the recipe.
