banana wheat germ muffins
(1)
My whole family loves these muffins. I originally found this recipe in a weight watchers magazine from the mid-nineties. I saved it, although over the years I've tweaked it and it is no longer a low cal/low fat muffin. I think the original recipe used margarine, skim milk and 3 egg whites, not 100% positive though as I've been making them with butter, 2% milk and whole eggs for many years now. I've also figured out over the years that in a pinch, you can substitute oat meal for the wheat germ and just call them "banana oat meal muffins." It's just as good as the wheat germ. Enjoy!
