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.

Very good!  I fixed these this morning....quick...easy and good.  I actually got 12 muffins out of the recipe....hmmm..too much of something??  Doesn't matter....came out perfect.  Thanks for sharing your recipe.
