Having a daughter who is a nutrition/dietetics major, has us trying some wonderfully 'healthy for you' recipes. She just made these tonight, and they are fabulous. ************************************************** Healthy Homemade Blueberry Muffin Recipe ************************************************** Makes 14. Preheat oven to 375F/190C/gas 5.
Sift together 275g (2 ½ cups) flour **
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
***************************** Cut 2 ripe bananas into chunks,
and puree in a blender.
Add 2 eggs,
130g (3/4) cup soft brown sugar,
90g (1/3 cup) softened butter
and 1 tsp vanilla extract and blend again.
***************************** Pour this mixture into the flour mix,
and stir well to combine.
Gently fold through 1 punnet washed blueberries.
Spoon the mixture into greased muffin tins and
bake for 25 minutes until risen and golden brown.
Cool in the tin for 10 mins,
then put on a wire rack to finish cooling.
The muffins keep well for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
And, of course, they're the ideal size for lunch boxes.
** used whole wheat flour and substituted
1 cup of flour with 1 cup of bran
This substitution makes these an even healthier treat with an added benefit of fiber. |
