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.
