If you follow my blog posts, you may know that I am a morning baker who loves to wake up before the sun rises to start experimenting with almost any kind of dough or batter. For me, there’s something so peaceful about the subtle aroma of warm vanilla, or the feel of kneading dough in a quiet, morning kitchen.
The other morning I decided I needed to bring blueberry muffins to work. I had no idea this recipe would get added to my blog until I handed the muffins out at work and received really positive feedback, and got several requests for the recipe. Who knew that something so simple as blueberries and bananas would make such an exciting muffin?
If you’re looking for a subtly sweet, healthy morning muffin (with bursts of juicy blueberries) you found yourself a winner!
Enjoy!
