Diabetic Banana Nutmeg Muffins [ See Notes ]

Ingredients:
6 bananas, ripe, peeled and mashed
1 1/2 cups artificial sweetener
1 cup egg substitute or 3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups whole wheat self-rising flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup fat-free margarine, room temperature
8 tablespoons water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F F and grease or line 18-24 muffin cups.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, carefully folding the flour into the banana just until moistened.
Spoon batter into muffin cups. To get pictured results, we filled the muffin cups 3/4 full to get the nice bloom on top, when done. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on how much you wish to cook the banana. The pictured results were 13 minutes.
Note: The Nutritional information for these muffins is misleading. The amount of sugar is much less. The body does not recognize Splenda or Altern as sugar, and therefore, should be counted differently. The only sugar is from the bananas and starch-generated sugar from the flour. Whole wheat generates less.
You may also substitute the vanilla for orange extract and add in the pulp of 3 fresh oranges, lemon extract and the pulp of 4 lemons, or cherry extract and 2/3 cup minced pineapple. Be creative!
