Description

This banana nut muffin recipe is made with egg whites, a little oil and a scattering of chopped walnuts, plus lemon zest for a light, bright pop of flavor.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 cup mashed bananas
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2 In large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3 In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Stir in bananas, sugar, oil, and lemon zest. Add flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in walnuts. Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
