Method

Preheat oven 200ºC fan forced.

  1. Beat egg whites and sugar in a medium size mixing bowl for 1 minute using an electric beater.
  2. Stir bicarb into apple sauce (it will froth) then add to bowl.
  3. Combine milk with melted margarine then add to mix stirring with a wooden spoon.
  4. Place mashed banana into bowl and mix together.
  5. Gently fold sifted flour into mixture in one go, treat as a sponge, DO NOT BEAT, as this will make the muffins tough. The less the mixture is moved, the lighter the muffins will be.
  6. Carefully fold blueberries into mixture.
  7. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray then spoon into prepared muffin tin dividing equally into 12 cups. Bake 15-20 minutes or until firm to touch in centre. Leave to rest for a few minutes then turn onto a wire rack to cool.
