Xylitol is a natural sweetener / sugar substitute, similar to stevia, made from hardwood trees. I buy mine at the Bulk Barn. The good thing about it is that it has the same level of sweetness as white sugar, so there’s no crazy math involved with substituting with it, it’s just 1:1.
Ingredients:
- 3 bananas, mashed
- 1 1/4c flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 c Xylitol
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 c cocoa powder
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter with Xylitol. Add the egg whites, applesauce and vanilla extract. Beat well.
- Add in the flour mixture and beat. Fold in the cocoa powder. Then the bananas.
- Spoon evenly into 6 jumbo or 12 regular sized prepared muffin tins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
