Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffins
Awesome, healthy muffin to have around for breakfast!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup low fat buttermilk (I used nonfat milk + 2 teaspoons lemon juice)
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium)
- 1¼ cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1¼ cups blueberries (I use fresh)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. You'll have some extra batter though, so you can spray a second pan (3 or 4 cups) with nonstick spray, or make a few mini muffins instead.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sugar, applesauce, eggs and bananas. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and carefully stir with a rubber spatula until all is just about combined. Carefully stir in 1 cup blueberries.
- Use an ice cream scoop or ⅓ cup measuring cup to portion the batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the batter with the remaining blueberries.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for a bit, and then eat!
Notes
- These freeze well too!
