Introduction
These tasty muffins are very low calorie, high fiber and ultra low fat. I came up with this recipe about 3 or 4 years ago when I found myself with about 10 lbs of over-ripe bananas. This version is tweaked to be more favourable to reduced calorie (but not sugars) diets. The Craisins add a nice tartness to complement the sweetness of the loaf.
