Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (i used 4 tbsp butter and 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt)
• 1 cup sugar (used 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup splenda)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• 2 bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped (i forgot to add these--don't tell DH!)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until they're smooth. Scrape the bowl down, then beat in the egg, spices, banana and milk.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, then gently stir them into butter-sugar mixture.

4. Spoon batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and after 10 minutes turn them out of the pan to cool.

Notes: Very good. Only quibble is that it was very dense and my preference is for a lighter muffin
