It’s so cold outside right now that I barely want to venture out of the confines of my home. It’s easy to fall into the habit of snacking all day long, especially during winter. Yesterday I made a healthy snack that is as popable as potato chips, minus the guilt. (1 Smart Point per muffin)

These mini muffins have very little added sugar, but they're really delicious. The raisins give it enough sweet flavor and I love that they're not overpoweringly sweet. Hooray for snacks you don't have to sneak!

These mini muffin tins work great for so many things:
My favorite mixing bowls. They’re lightweight and easy to clean. I’ve had them for year and they still look brand new.

Those look delicious. What a great grab and go idea!
ohhh these sound like the perfect compliment to a cup of hot tea or coffee!!
These look like something I can make on a Sunday and freeze for during the week. Thanks for the recipe!
This is a great recipe and I bet they taste really good,I will try this out.
I like that you put applesauce in there. I’ve heard that makes a recipe extra moist!
Those look delicious! And because they’re mini, I could rationalize eating half a dozen of them, right? :)
Oh yum. I may be odd but I loooove Bran muffins for breakfast. I haven’t ever made them though but I love them, I’m going to give these a try!
These look delicious! I can’t wait to try these. I love anything banana.
I love the idea of coconut sugar – I just learn about this yesterday for me – and I could replace the flour with almond flour I’ve hear – So I am saving your recipe on my Pinterest site – thank you!!
I like this recipe. Probably because I love banana. The bran is nice addition to the recipe.
