KITTENCAL'S BANANA CINNAMON SNACK CAKE OR MUFFINS (LOW-FAT)



Kittencal's Banana Cinnamon Snack Cake or Muffins (Low-Fat) image

A wonderful lower-fat cake/muffin recipe that's easy to make as everything is mixed by hand --- this recipe was tested and developed using low-fat yogurt although I would think that low-fat sour cream may be substituted with good results --- visit www.kittencalskitchen.com for more low-fat recipes!

FAT-FREE/CHOLESTEROL-FREE BRAN MUFFINS



Fat-Free/Cholesterol-Free Bran Muffins image

These muffins have no fat but you would never know it, they are extremely moist with lots of flavor --- I have not tryed it as yet but I'm quite sure that Splenda may be used in place of sugar --- you may bake in 6 jumbo muffin tins but baking time will need to be increased.
