A foodie I am not.
However, I love to take amazing recipes and give them a healthy shake. Are some of my creations worthy of being in Gourmet Magazine or Cooking Light? Um, heck no. But do they satisfy my cravings for the full calorie versions? Um, HECK YES!
So when I ran across a bag of Stevia Extract In the Raw last week at the grocery store last week I scooped it up and couldn’t wait to hit the Fitness & Spice test kitchen. Lucky for me on the same day Justin’s Nutbutter sent me a generous supply of their products so I grabbed a bowl and came up with…
Muffins Elvis Would Love Without the Fluff
- 1/2 (really ripe) banana
- 1/4 cup Stevia Extract in the Raw
- 1/2 cup nut butter (I used Justin’s Honey Almond Butter)
- 1/8 t baking soda
- Dash of salt
Mash banana until smooth and stir in Stevia. Add the nut butter, baking soda, and salt and stir until all ingredients are combined. Pour into mini muffin tins prepared with non-stick spray or cupcake liners. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
This recipe makes about 8-10 mini muffins but I’m sure you can double or triple this recipe with ease. Oh, and if you want to make them raw, just omit the baking soda and the baking of course.
Simple enough, right? Thank you, thank you very much!
Now I really must go grab a muffin and hit the gym…it’s now or never!
