I decided to use the banana cake recipe to make muffins and see what they were like with a crumble topping. Verdict – delicious!
And at just 1 point each on No Count! If tracking, they work out at 5 points each.
Ingredients for the muffins (makes 8):
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 100g oats blitzed in a food processor
- 100g oat bran
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 40g Flora light
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp Myprotein butterscotch sugar-free syrup
- a tbsp lemon juice
Ingredients for the crumble topping:
- 70g oats, blitzed in food processor
- 50g oats
- 40g Flora light
- 2 flat tbsp Splenda
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 170C.
- Mash the bananas and mix in the 2 eggs, Myprotein syrup and lemon juice. Set to one side.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oats, oat bran, mixed spice and baking powder.
- Rub in the Flora with your fingers.
- Pour the banana mixture into this bowl and stir together.
- Make the crumble next by placing all the oats in a mixing bowl.
- Add the Flora and rub in with fingertips.
- Sprinkle over 2 tbsp Splenda and mix together.
- Spoon the banana mixture into muffin cases and then put some of the crumble mixture on the top of each one.
- Bake in the oven for 40 – 45 mins, and enjoy!
Served here with low fat natural yogurt and blueberries.
NB: I used paper muffin cases for a change but they would be better in a silicone muffin tray.
How many muffins does this recipe make please?
Hi Sarah, sorry I missed that off – the mixture makes 8 muffins.Helen xxx

I just want to try some banana muffins Helen, I’m counting so how many points each do you think the muffins would be without the crumble topping? Also I want to try apple cinnamon muffins do u think I could just substitute apple and use this recipe? I know you are the no count guru so if you don’t know about the points it’s no probs X hope ur keeping well x
Hi Kristy, I’m very well thank you.It’s a rather busy week though:-)The muffins would be 3.5 points each if tracking, without the crumble topping: so I’d count the first one as 3 and the second one as 4 points:-)I hope you’re keeping well too, Helen xxx
