The refrigerator light goes on...

Many muffin recipes will have you fill the muffin tins 2/3 full or less. These muffins, however, should be piled high in the muffin tins. They will rise less than you expect but this will result in a good-sized, hearty muffin with a big crown. Perfect for an on-the-go breakfast that will keep you satisfied until lunch.

  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Z-Sweet (or 2/3 cup allulose)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Using a whisk, cream together the egg and butter.

Add the banana and mash into the mixture until well blended.

Add the vanilla extract and Z-sweet or allulose and blend.

Sift the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a sifter and sift into the mixing bowl.
