How to Make Banana Muffins Diabetic And Delicious
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add ½ cup oat bran, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon allspice. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth.
- Add ½ cup apple butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup Splenda brown sugar, ½ cup buttermilk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup blueberries (or substitute with 1/2 cup chopped nuts, or a combination of both).
- Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
