PISTACHIO BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

Yield: 12 generous muffins.

Ingredients
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• ¾ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup butter
• ½ cup Egg Beaters
• 4 medium-sized, ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup fat free sour cream (such as Breakstone’s)
• 1/8 tsp ground cardamom (or you may substitute
one tsp vanilla extract)
• ½ cup pistachio nuts, chopped


Directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and table salt, stirring with a whisk. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the sugars and the butter and beat with hand mixer until well-blended. Add the Egg Beaters to the sugar/butter mixture and beat well. Add the banana, sour cream, and cardamom and beat until well-blended. Then, add the flour mixture and beat at a low speed, just until moist. Stir in pistachios, making sure that they are incorporated evenly throughout the batter.

Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray (such as Pam). Distribute batter evenly among the 12 muffin tins. Place in oven for ~17 minutes and check for done-ness. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out clean.
