Buffins!

I feel like it's a good day to blog about one of my most favorite things to eat: Muffins.
So, muffins happen to be one of my weaknesses. Hands down.  I eye them every time I get my morning coffee at the coffee shop, temptation station if you will. But.. blueberry banana?! Say whaaaat. Now things are being taken to a different level. I am semi obsessed with blueberries They are so delicious and have so many benefits for you! Did you know, that blueberries are packed with Vitamins C and E? They are also a rich source of the Phytonutrients (plant nutrient) Ellagic Acid. Which, Ellagic acid has proven anticancer and genetic-material-protection capabilities. Blueberries also have catechins in them. Which, is an active fat burning gene to help assist with weight loss. Not to mention, an incredible antioxidant.

What I love most about baking a batch of muffins is that I can freeze them and eat them over a period of time without worrying about them not getting eaten or going bad. So, for all my busy and hard working mommies.. this is the recipe for you!

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill all purpose four)

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 bananas completely smashed)

1/2 cup milk (I used organic whole milk, you may use whatever kind of milk you have)

1 egg

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (if you only have frozen blueberries, those work just fine!)

This recipe should make at least 12 muffins.

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. 

2. Line muffin tray with muffin cups. (I just sprayed mine with cooking spray, so you can you. I wont tell ;))

3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a medium mixing bowl, whisk to blend.

4. Put mashed bananas into a large separate bowl.

5. Stir in your milk, egg and oil.

6 Mix your dry ingredients with your liquid and mashed ingredients. Then, slowly add the blueberries. 

7. Pour your batter into your muffin tins.

8. Cook for about 20 minutes. It's always a safe call to do the toothpick test just because every oven is different. 

9. Let cool down and serve 'em up!

Just a note: It's delicious to serve with warm butter, almond butter or even cream cheese if you wish!

Most importantly, enjoy! XOXO
