Yield: 12 servings

1/4 cup canola oil

1/2 cup skim milk

3 egg whites

1 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp reduced sodium baking powder

1/3 cup white sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup mashed bananas

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

In a bowl, lightly beat together the oil, milk and egg whites. In a separate bowl, mix the flours, salt, baking powder and sugars. Mix mashed bananas into the flour mixture. Stir in the oil mixture just until moist.

Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full with the batter.

Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
