43 Calorie Banana Muffins

These 43 Calorie Banana Muffins are made with banana & Greek yogurt and are topped with a cinnamon streusel topping. These are a great grab-and go snack or breakfast! Baking with Greek yogurt is one of my favorite things ever because it is a butter/oil substitution that also gives you some extra protein at the same time! Be sure to try my 84 Calorie Banana Coffee Cake as well!

What You Will Need

• Bananas – Who would have guessed? You will need 3 ripe bananas that are mashed. It is very important to have ripe bananas because that is going to be your main sweetener in these muffins.
• Eggs – You will need 2 large eggs.
• Greek Yogurt – 1/2 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.
• Unsweetened Applesauce– 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Make sure it is unsweetened so you don’t add any extra sugar!!
• Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon, for flavor.
• Flour – 1 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Oat flour works great too!
• Swerve – 1/2 cup of granulated Swerve. Swerve is my go-to when it comes to sugar substitutes. If you are not familiar with Swerve, it is a zero-calorie, low-glycemic sweetener that measures cup-for-cup to sugar. It’s completely save and natural, with no artificial ingredients, preservatives or flavors. It is safe for diabetics and Keto approved. You can purchase Swerve off of Amazon here.
• Salt – 1/2 teaspoon for flavor.
• Baking Soda – 1 teaspoon.
• Cinnamon & Nutmeg – 1 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg.
• Optional Toppings – Additional cinnamon & nutmeg, nut butter, walnuts, brown swerve, etc.

How To Make It

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a standard sized muffin tin (or 2 if you have them) with nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mashed banana, Greek yogurt, applesauce, swerve, vanilla extract, and eggs.
3. Add in the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until just combined. Don’t over mix!
4. Pour the batter into your muffin tin (I was able to make 30 muffins so you will have extra batter!). Top with any desired toppings such as walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar swerve substitute. I did all of the above!!
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are browned and a toothpick comes out clean.

How To Store Them

Store your banana muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days or on the counter for up to 3 days.
