Banana Blueberry Muffins
I try to make muffins every weekend so that we have something healthy to eat for breakfast during the week. This weekend I had some VERY ripe bananas and some leftover blueberries (from when I made the white chocolate-blueberry cupcakes). I found this recipe in my WW recipes and we love it. We both agreed it’s tied with the lemon berry muffins (recipe to come) for #1 for best muffin.
Banana blueberry Muffins – 2 WW pts – from www.prevention.com – serves 12
2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 c brown sugar – I used Splenda brown sugar mix
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin (I used paper liners)
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, combine bananas, egg whites, and vanilla.
Mix the banana mixture into the flour mixture until smooth. Fold in blueberries.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
Bake 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

I made this for my family get-together and everyone loved it. It came out pretty soggy, though, so I’ll need to try to get the extra juices out of the fruits before cooking. I also didn’t pre-heat the baking pan under the pie dish so that may have contributed too. Thanks for this recipe!

So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Outstanding! We were able to use our fresh peaches and sweet cherries to make this wonderful pie. I did make the following adjustments: I only used half cup of sugar in the pie filling, and in the crumble topping I used 1/4 brown sugar and 2 tbsp. sugar, and I reduced the butter to 3 tbsp. melted. I used a fork to press the crumble ingredients together (in pastry cutter style) until it became crumbly. It was absolutely delicious and I know I’ll be making it again and again.
