Blueberry Banana Nut Muffins ~

I had bananas and fresh blueberries to use up and wanted to make some muffins.  I searched for banana muffins and found most are about the same on Pinterest.  Except, most say to add an extra banana.  So instead of using 3 bananas, I used four.  I also added a cup of fresh blueberries, which are a nice addition.  With summer on the way and with fresh blueberry season, I'm betting these are over the top in the flavor department.  And with only 3/4 cup of brown sugar, they are a very healthy dessert!  Easy to put together and the kids will love them!

I always preheat my oven first, then get started on gathering my ingredients.  So preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Start with:

11/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. four

Mix together, set aside.

1 large egg
1 cup of blueberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
4 bananas, mashed
3/4 light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
6 tablespoons of softened butter

Place butter, egg and brown sugar into mixing bowl.  Cream together for 1 minute on medium speed.  Add mashed bananas, nuts and vanilla.  Stir.

Add blueberries to flour mixture and toss.  Add 1/3 of the flour mixture into the wet mixture, with a spatular stir until just combined and repeat with the remaining flour mixture.

Spray 2 - 6 muffin/cupcake tins with an aerosol butter spray.  Fill each tin 3/4 full.  You should get 12 muffins.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, cool down.  Turn muffin pans onto a tea towel and then on a baking rack to cool.  This prevents them from sticking and also from over cooking.  See how nicely the blueberries have cooked in the muffins?

Yum!  They freeze well too ~
