1 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 cup reduced-fat (2 percent) milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup frozen blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. In a bowl, whisk together flours, wheat germ, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, mash bananas with a fork (you should have 3/4 cup); stir in milk and vanilla.

Lactose-Free Banana and Blueberry Muffins image

Beautifully soft on the inside with a slight crunch to the outside, these muffins beat traditional blueberry muffins and have the added deliciousness of banana. Especially great served warm and straight out of the oven! Best eaten a day or two after they're made though they will store for 3 days in an airtight container. Totally addictive and very much lactose free so they're easy to digest!

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3)
1/2 cup unflavored soy milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries or 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries, unthawed (6 to 7 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Combine flour, sugar, oat bran, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl; whisk to blend.
  • Place mashed bananas in large bowl. Stir in soy milk, egg, oil, and lemon juice. Mix in dry ingredients, then blueberries. Divide batter among muffin papers. Bake muffins until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Turn muffins out onto rack and cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Perfect Blueberry and Banana Muffins:

  • Fresh is Best: Use ripe bananas and fresh blueberries for optimal flavor and texture. Frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch, but fresh is always better.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixed batter can result in tough muffins. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Properly Measure Flour: Too much flour can make your muffins dry and dense. Fluff your flour before measuring to ensure accuracy.
  • Control the Sugar: Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your bananas and blueberries. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup for a healthier option.
  • Add-Ins: Get creative with add-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit. Just be sure not to overcrowd the batter.
  • Muffin Pan Prep: Spray your muffin pan with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners for easy removal.
  • Proper Baking: Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry them out.

Conclusion:

These healthy blueberry and banana muffins are a delicious and nutritious treat that are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or on-the-go meals.

Remember to use fresh ingredients, avoid over ฝxing the batter, measure flour correctly, adjust sugar to taste, and experiment with add-ins. Most importantly, enjoy the process of baking and savor the delightful flavors of these wholesome muffins.
