Healthy Homemade Blueberry Muffin Recipe



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.
