You can replace macadamia nuts with pecans or walnuts. Or, you can opt to fold in half of the chopped nuts into the batter, and sprinkle the remaining nuts on top of the muffins before baking.

2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup milk
2 large, ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
1/3 cup or 75g apple sauce (available in grocery stores; or you can even use the baby food version)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine apple sauce, honey, milk, bananas, and mix.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, be careful not to overmix.
5. Stir in nuts.
6. Spoon batter into paper muffin cups about 2/3 cups full.

Great recipe, easy and I can't believe there's no butter or oil. I made them without patty pans, just in a greased muffin tray and they popped straight outwhen cooked. Maybe you could let people know in case they opt out because they can't find the patty pans! Also used normal self raising flour, turned out fine. Thanks! - Alex Edelman, Australia
