How To Make banana blueberry muffins

• Step 1
  First, you can use all white sugar if you want, as well as all white flour. I am putting what I actually used. I had 2 bananas which gave me 3/4 cup of banana. I used Monkfruit sugar instead of white, and some brown. You can use melted coconut oil, or melted butter if you prefer as well as full fat milk or whatever you have on hand. You don't need pumpkin pie spice. You can use cinnamon, nutmeg, apple pie spice, whatever. Mix and match. I happened to have pumpkin pie spice and loved the smell. The main thing is to keep the wet/dry ratio the same.
• Step 2
  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Step 3
  This is a 1 bowl recipe. In a good sized bowl mash the banana with a fork or whatever mixing tool you prefer. Add the milk, oil and egg, stirring well.
• Step 4
  Stir in the flour, sugars, baking powder, spice, salt and vanilla and mix until moistened. I gave a few extra turns with the Danish whisk before folding in 1 cup of blueberries, setting aside several berries to put on the top of each muffin for prettiness factor.
• Step 5
  I used a standard muffin pan, putting in paper liners. You can spray them with non sticky spray if you want. I forgot to and it made no big difference. I used a spring loaded muffin scoop to fill each cup almost to the top.
• Step 6
  Let the muffins rest while the oven preheats to let the whole wheat absorb the liquids. (It always likes a little more time, such an attention hog.)

  Step 7
  Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and place a few reserved blueberries over the top. I put 3 on each one. Put the pan in the oven and bake between 18-20 minutes, keeping an eye. My oven tends to run hot so it only took 18.

  Step 8
  Remove and enjoy! I take out of the pan as soon as I can handle them to keep them from getting soggy. Share with neighbors and friends and hide a couple for yourself for later!
