Sugar Free Sour Milk Banana Muffins

Sugar free sour milk banana muffins are a great alternative to banana cakes or heavy banana bread.

Use your favourite sweetener to make these muffins. If you choose Equal, you will need eight packets or sachets. Remember that one sachet of this type of artificial sweetener contains 5 ml, and it equals one teaspoon of sugar in terms of sweetness. If you substitute a different sweetener, make sure one teaspoonful also equals a teaspoon of sugar. If it doesn't then you will need to adjust the quantities.

Even though there is baking powder in this recipe, you are advised to use self-raising flour to ensure that the muffins are nice and fluffy rather than heavy, like typical banana bread. Beating the eggs, milk, butter and banana also helps to aerate the batter mix.

You will have enough batter to make between 16 and 20 muffins, depending on the size of your muffin pans.
