These low-calorie muffins are made without added flour or sugar, using just four ingredients: bananas, eggs, vanilla, and cherries. Valerie Bertinelli recommends using frozen cherries, as they're already pitted, saving you a ton of time.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup frozen pitted cherries, thawed, halved and drained well
• 3 overripe bananas
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• Powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Line a plate with two layers of paper towels and place the cherries on it to dry slightly.
Step 2
• Place the bananas in a large bowl and mash them thoroughly with a fork. Add the vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
• Evenly distribute the cherries among the muffin tins, then top with the banana cream (each tin will be about three-quarters full). Bake until the muffins are puffed and set, 12–14 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of each muffin and remove with a spatula. Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.
