Alright, I have to admit, I love banana bread with walnuts. I find it to be a perfect snack, breakfast or dessert. The only problem for me is getting it out of the loaf pan in one piece. That is why I thin k it is great having them in muffin form. You can of course take the walnuts out of this recipe, but then they wouldn't be nutty muffins which just sounds cute. Or could put chocolate chips in them like my friend Lexy likes, either way you should try this recipe out. Each muffin only has 160 calories.
This makes 12 muffins.
What you Need.
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons Baking soda.
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Very ripe bananas
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
How to do it
1. Preheat oven 375F
2. Either line a muffin pan with the liner or lightly butter and flour one
3. Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
4. Mix using a whisk attachment, one banana with egg, brown sugar, and butter and vanillas until a liquified.
5. Mash the other banana with the nuts
6. Mix flour in with the wet ingredients
7. Fold in banana nut mixture
8. fill each tin about half way. and then tap the tin on a firm surface.
9. Bake fifteen-20 minutes
They are moist and delish! if I do say so myself.
Or it can be.
Baking has always been something I have been passionate about. I also enjoy cooking. No, I am not a professional chef or baker, as you will probably see in my dishes; they aren't always the prettiest of things. I do love cooking though, and because of my family I tend to cook low calorie dishes, but I warn you, some do go out there in the calorie zone. I will post yummy recipes I make along with pictures here. I warn you I do like spicy food, so sometimes they will be a little spicy, but I will let you sometimes choose how spicy the meal is. Anywho enjoy.

No fuss mini pizzas
Now who does not like pizza? i love pizza! It is great, but ordering pizza can get kinda pricey, and really greasy. Making pizza dough, well I have done it, and it can be a pain! If it is not done just right is can be a debacle. So, here it is! An easy no fuss pizza!
And as almost all my recipes this is rather low calorie for how much you get. 450 calories
Now for one personal little pizza here you go.
1 pitta bread round.
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup of cheese ((Mozzarella, but I like cheddar so I used the mexican cheese mix))
All your favorite toppings. ((I went simple with only pepperoni))
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F
2. Put the pita on a cookie sheet.
3. Pour the sauce over the pitta
4.Add half the cheese
5. Add your toppings
6. Add the rest of your cheese
7: put in oven for 8-10 min
8: Broil for 2-4 minutes to crispy crust
See that was easy! And yummy!
