Necessity is the mother of invention and I need to empty the fridge before we head out to Colorado. So what do you do with bananas and blueberries that are going bad? Banana blueberry muffins of course! My recipe is yummy, but not really healthy. Usually if I have the chance I substitute healthier choices.
Banana Blueberry Muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter melted
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
4 overripe bananas
1 package of washed blueberries
Streusel Topping
1/2 cup butter softened not melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 all-purpose flour
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl combine butter, sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until just mixed. Fold in the blueberries carefully so that they are not crushed.
3. Spoon evenly into muffin pans that are greased or use papers. Combine all streusel topping ingredients in a small bowl, cutting the butter in until
with fork or pastry blender until mixture resembles course crumbs. Top muffins with the streusel topping.
4. Bake for 18 minutes until a toothpick comes clean. Let cool for at least 10 min.
