The blueberry and banana combination is wonderful in any baked goods, and blueberries freeze beautifully. I always have them in the freezer so I can bake this all year round. Don’t thaw the berries before adding them to the batter.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray 12 muffin cups with vegetable oil.
2. Beat the bananas, oil, egg, sugar, vanilla and yogurt in a large bowl until well mixed.
3. Combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl, mixing well. Stir into the liquid ingredients until just mixed. Fold in the blueberries.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups and bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the middle of the oven, until the tops are firm to the touch and a tester inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Turn out and serve immediately.
