Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the bananas, coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar), applesauce, egg and vanilla extract.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  4. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until combined. Stir in two-thirds of the blueberries.
  5. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over top, press very lightly into the batter.
  6. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes.
  7. Remove the muffins from the pan and allow to cool. Serve.

Notes

  • Weight Watchers Points: 4 (Blue - Freestyle SP) / 4 (Green) / 4 (Purple)
  • Note 1: Overripe bananas are the best for banana bread, smoothies and muffins because the natural sugars intensify as the banana ripens. I use bananas that are spotted and slightly soft. Avoid fruit with large bruises.
  • Note 2: For higher fiber and healthier muffins and quick bread, I turn to whole wheat pastry flour. It has a lighter texture than regular whole wheat flour. You could substitute with a half and half mixture of all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour.
  • Note 3: If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to defrost them first.
