With our blueberries just now beginning to ripen, nothing tastes better than fresh berries used in baking! This morning I picked the first of our ripening berries!
Having these available gave me the idea to use a ripe banana and make some muffins for breakfast. I found my basic recipe in my favorite cookbook, Fanny Farmer, but made changes to incorporate the fruit. Hope you enjoy it!
1-1/2 c. flour
2 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 c. cooked oatmeal
1 ripe banana
1/2 c. blueberries
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin pans. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, stir the milk, egg, butter, oatmeal,and mashed banana. Mix well. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cup about 2/3 full of batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

You’re so lucky to have your own fresh blueberries. They must make your muffins extra delicious. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I’d love it if you’d come by and link your muffins up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweets-for-saturday-21.html
Hey! I’d love to link up to your blog! I just looked at it, and it looks like fun! Give me a little bit to figure out how to actually link my recipe to your blog. I am rather technologically challenged, so I need to get my daughter to help me out here! 🙂
