BANANA-BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH GREEK YOGURT



Banana-Blueberry Muffins with Greek Yogurt image

With blueberries in season, what better way to prepare them than to combine with a banana muffin base? The use of whole wheat flour and replacing much of the sugar in a traditional banana muffin recipe with natural sources like honey, Greek yogurt, and applesauce results in a moist, dense texture. These banana-blueberry muffins make a light, satisfying breakfast or dessert.

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Balsamic Muffins image

These are not your typical morning muffins. Yes, you would think that these ingredients do not really go together, but they do! Balsamic vinegar highlights the flavor of strawberries. Some chefs actually say that strawberries are interchangeable with tomatoes because they share many flavor components. Prep time does not include the time for the strawberries to macerate.
