Blueberry Banana Muffins

I love baking, especially when I can make it healthy and a little more guilt free than normal! I made these today on the cold, icy day. I found this online and tweaked it to my needs. 

Makes 12 regular muffins or 24 minis

Ingredients

2 c whole wheat flour

1/3 c brown sugar (not packed)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 c ripe mashed bananas (about 3 medium or 2 large)

2 whole eggs

2 egg white

1 tsp vanilla

1 c fresh blueberries

1. heat oven to 350. Line muffin cups with paper or spray with non-stick spray. I used mini muffins.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. 

3. In another medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add eggs, egg whites, and vanilla. Stir until combined. 

4. Rinse blueberries, drain, and place in a small bowl. Take a few spoons of the flour mixture and toss with blueberries. This coats them and keeps them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin when you bake it!

5. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Pour in liquid and gently fold with a large rubber spatula. Stir just until moistened. Over stirring will make your muffins tough. Something about the gluten in the flour and the eggs. 

6. Stir in blueberries.

7. Spoon evenly into muffin tin. 

8. I baked my minis for about 15 minutes. regular sized muffins may make closer to 20. They are done when a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
