Melt in Your Mouth Banana Muffins

I have a love/hate relationship with Sundays. I love them this time of year because they are usually spent at home, with family, watching football, eating a home cooked meal, etc. I hate them because the next day is Monday.

Anyone else feel the same way?

This weekend has been pretty low-key, but we've also had an under-the-weather little man. This morning he woke up with a temp of 100.6 and spent most of the morning just laying on my lap. Which for those of you that know him, never happens! He's usually running around, getting into everything, so that just shows you how bad he feels.

Regardless of the sick child, I do plan on doing some cooking today, and yesterday I baked up these delicious muffins. So delicious in fact, that there is only one left.

Melt in Your Mouth Banana Muffins (yields 12 muffins)

2 egg whites

1 c. yogurt (I used vanilla flavored)

1/4 c. canola oil or applesauce

1 large banana, mashed

1 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. salt

1 1/4 t. baking soda

1/3 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. flax seed

1 1/2 c. flour

Mix together egg whites, yogurt, oil, banana and brown sugar. Sift in all dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Spray cupcake liners in muffin tins and fill 3/4 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Delicious straight from the oven and slathered with butter, but also store great in a container for many days!
