Banana Blueberry Muffins

Hello!

I felt like using up a ripe banana today but since it's just me and hubby I didn't want to make a whole cake or banana bread. I had a recipe from my son's former sitter for banana muffins but felt like tweaking it (less sugar, less butter, added blueberries) and it turned out great - hubby approved! Here it is:

Yield: 10 muffins Oven 350 degrees - 25 minutes

No mixer needed

Combine:

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

3/4 stick butter

1 mashed banana and add milk to make one cup.

2 T. applesauce

Mix w/above:

1 t. baking soda

1 and 1/2 cup flour (minus one tablespoon)

pinch of salt

1 t. vanilla

Combine until mixed together well. Put in cupcake tin with liners. Topped with 5 blueberries each prior to placing in oven.

Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick comes clean.

I froze 5 of them so we wouldn't be tempted to overindulge!

Hope you enjoy! The batter is a little sweet but the blueberries offset it.

If I only had some applesauce I'd be right on this. I do have a diced pear cup whose contents could be mashed but I don't want to ruin the recipe. We also like smaller recipes so we aren't eating the same thing days in a row.

Honestly, I made this up so I really think you could add the pear. The orginal recipe from my sitter didn't call for applesauce so I cut the butter a little and added the applesauce. I'm sure pear would work!

These sound delicious. I love blueberries and the banana sounds wonderful.

I have been baking a lot and it goes into the freezer. Since my husband has been working from home he likes a little something with his morning coffee or tea in the morning. These will hit the spot for him.

I just found a cookbook and what I have made from it have been great.

Midwest Made is the name of the book.

Thank you for the recipe.

That would go good with coffee in the morning.
