It's almost Friday! We hope everyone is ready for this scorcher of a weekend! This week's recipe will be a great one for breakfast this weekend. 

Here is a link to this week's recipe.

Whole Grain Banana Muffins

Ingredients:

3/4 c whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 c whole wheat flour

1 c oat bran

1/4 c sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup raisins

1/2 c nonfat yogurt

1/4 c low fat sour cream

1/4 c unsweetened applesauce 

1/4 c maple syrup

2 teaspoons egg whites

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 small ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flours, oat bran, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in raisins. In another bowl, mix together yogurt, sour cream, applesauce, maple syrup, egg whites, vanilla, and bananas. Pour yogurt mixture into flour mixture, and mix just enough to combine. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
3. Bake muffins in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.

The recipe originally had chopped nut in it, but I removed them to make them braces friendly.
