Banana Muffins - 2 Weight Watchers Pro Points each


Now muffins are a weakness of mine, but when looking up the pro points value on weight watchers, I realised some of them contained up to 15 pro points!  That's approximately half your daily allowance.  I was horrified and stopped eating muffins at once until I discovered this recipe where each muffin contains 2 pro points.   So you can enjoy a muffin with your cup of tea without having to worry about that moment on the lips.

Low Points Banana Muffins

Ingredients
30g butter
60g honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 ripe bananas
150g plain flour
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
12 cup muffin pan lined with muffin cases
Chocolate chips for sprinkling on top

Method
Melt the butter, honey and vanilla in the microwave. 
Mash the bananas in a bowl and pour over the honey butter vanilla mix and combine.
Mix the dry ingredients in another mixing bowl.
Mix the bananas mix into the dry ingredients until just combined(don't overmix)
Divide the muffin mix equally amongst the muffin cases.
Top with chocolate chips
