Low Glycemic Banana Bran Muffins Recipe

Low Glycemic Banana Bran Muffins

One of the cookbooks I wrote back in the early 1990's was "Traditions of Home Cookies and Muffins". It has some great muffin recipes in it, but unfortunately, they're not low glycemic.

My hubby, Fred, asked me the other day to help use up some bananas before they got too ripe so I decided to take one of my recipes and adapt it so it would be reasonable low glycemic. The results are in the recipe below
