Muffin Monday!

This morning: Banana~Blueberry~Walnut Muffins
Served straight from the oven with butter! One of the best reasons, besides coffee, for getting out of bead in the morning! Sorry the boys ate them before I could take a picture. Luckily they are a favorite around here, I promise to post a photo next time I make them!


3/4 cup toasted walnuts chopped
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (approx. 3)
1 cup blueberries - frozen or fresh

Preheat the oven to 375°, makes 12
Line muffin tins with baking papers.
Spread nuts on a tray and toast in oven 8-10 minutes, set aside to cool.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
In another bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Add mashed banans and beat until combined.
Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture until flour just disappears.
Lightly stir in nuts and blueberries.
Spoon batter into muffin cups, to top.
Bake 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

You can use just one or the other of blueberries or walnuts, or substitute chocolate chips
for the blueberries.
Enjoy!
