Eat Clean Blueberry Banana Cranberry Muffins

MrsSpike34's Note:

I originally found these on a forum on the Eat Clean Community Forum but wanted to save the recipe here and also get the nutrition info! They are yummy, easy and very healthy. I use raw sugar/sucanat but that is not an understood ingredient.

• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 18

Yield: 18.0 muffins

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 12 cup muffin tin with liners or spray with non stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder and soda.
3. In medium mixing bowl mix sucanat/sugar, bananas, applesauce and egg whites.
4. Place blueberries and cranberries in dry flour mixture and stir gently to coat fruit.
5. Mix the banana mixture in with the dry flour mixture and stir until just moistened.

I made this recipe without the blueberries and mashed bananas and instead included more cranberries. I also included about half a cup of milk because the batter was quite dry after I mixed everything together. I added about 1/3 cup more sugar than the recipe called for, but it still came out kind of bland.

Next time I make it I would still add the milk, but would change the amount of sugar to at least 1 whole cup or would use Truvia which is sweeter than sugar. Overall I would say it is a good muffin recipe and personally did not mind it was not very sweet, but if making for others I would add more sugar. Would also be great with nuts in it.
