- JaneStarr's notes: I assumed 12 servings for MC nutritional analysis.
- I used 1 large egg and 2 medium bananas in an 8" loaf pan for 55 mins.
- Would've been better with 3 bananas or possibly baked for 5 mins less.
- Using 1 large egg:JaneStarr's experiments:To make Muffin Tops in specialty pan:At 350 degrees:Used: 3 med / large bananas.
- Made:24 mini-muffin tops (1 generous mini-scoop each to fill tins) plus 3 giant Muffin toppers (2 large scoops each to fill)
- baked minis for 15 mins (came out a bit pale-colored & a bit dry - next time up temp to 375 and bake for 10 mins) baked giants for 19 mins(came out nicely browned and moist)
- I used non-stick spray on the minis since pan is not non-stick.
- Next time I will also spray c. of non-stick Giant muffin-topper tin.
- mini-muffin tops came out to 1 point per muffin top.
- (A "normal" serving would be 3 muffin tops that is the equiv.
- of 1 small regular muffin.)
- Large Muffin tops= 2 regular full-size muffins = 6 points
- NOTES : Here's a lowfat banana bran bread which I got from another list and adapted to make muffin "tops" in a specialty pan.
- My family prefers the tops of muffins to the cakey bottoms.
- I came up with this adaptation one morning when I was tried of being left yet another "top-less"muffin!
- I bought the muffin topper pans at Marshall's or possibly TablespoonsJ.
- Maxx for a very reasonable price ($8)
