Blueberry muffins are in top of many people’s preferences when it comes to muffin recipes. If you use high-quality ingredients and keep fats and sugar to a minimum, blueberry muffins can make a delicious and healthy breakfast. Blueberries have an excellent taste when cooked, that’s why they make such a nice addition to many sweets recipes. This recipe is tasty and very easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups whole-grain flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, finely ground
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed bananas (choose only ripe ones and mash them in a blender)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup milk (you can replace it with soy milk if you want)
• 1 cup blueberries (organic are best, but others can do as well)

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Makes 12 muffins

Cooking Directions:

Grease the muffin pan or line it with paper cups. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl: the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the sugar and the cinnamon. Stir them well and add the blueberries. Separately, mix the mashed banana with the milk, egg and vanilla extract, then combine the dry and wet mixtures to make the muffin batter. Then spoon it into the muffin cups, taking care not to fill them up to the top edge. Bake muffins for about 20 minutes. You can use a toothpick to test if they are ready: stick it into one muffin and if it comes out clean, it means you can take them out of the oven and let them cool for a while before taking them out of the pan. Serve them at room temperature.
