Banana Blueberry Muffins
I try to make muffins every weekend so that we have something healthy to eat for breakfast during the week. This weekend I had some VERY ripe bananas and some leftover blueberries (from when I made the white chocolate-blueberry cupcakes). I found this recipe in my WW recipes and we love it. We both agreed it’s tied with the lemon berry muffins (recipe to come) for #1 for best muffin.
Banana blueberry Muffins – 2 WW pts – from www.prevention.com – serves 12
2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 c brown sugar – I used Splenda brown sugar mix
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin (I used paper liners)
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, combine bananas, egg whites, and vanilla.
Mix the banana mixture into the flour mixture until smooth. Fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Everytime I make anything out of this book I screw up a step. I’m starting to blame the book – maybe it has too many steps? I’ve had it for years, and I don’t mess up other recipes. But with this book. . . everytime I look at the recipe while whatever I’ve made is in the oven I go “oh no.”
Let us know what else you cook and like out of the book. Love your blog.
These look so DELICIOUS! My mouth is watering!! Thank you!!

These are my favorite type of bars! And I agree, I could eat lemon curd all day!
I also often don’t have the right size pan for a recipe, I guess I need to stock up 🙂
I love lemon bars and yours look absolutely delightful! I’m a huge fan of the entire Cook’s Illustrated brand and have been meaning to pick that book up for a while!
