3/4 tsp. ground ginger
3 large very ripe bananas, peeled
3/4 c. frozen unsweetened apple juice concentrate

3 tbsp. canola oil
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray muffin pans with non stick cooking spray. Sift together flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger and baking soda. Stir in the oat bran and mix well. Set aside. In a food processor or blender combine bananas, juice concentrate, egg whites, oil and extract. Puree until smooth. Stir the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. When well mixed, fill muffin pans with the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the pan. Makes 12 muffins.
