  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper baking cups and set aside.
  2. In a food processor fitted with an S-blade, beat egg whites until stiff. Add yolks, mashed bananas, and vanilla. In another bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add dry ingredients to the food processor and blend well.
