Banana Blueberry Muffins
Since I have been in the US, I have taken several trips. I have flown to Virginia and Kentucky, and driven to/through North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Florida!!! Let’s just say I have hardly slowed down long enough to enjoy all the wonderful and endless ingredients around me. But every once in a while I stopped for just enough time to make something delicious, like these banana blueberry muffins with an oatmeal streusel topping!!!

Banana Bread Mini-Muffins filled with Nutella Recipe:Makes 1 loaf, 6 mini loaves, muffins or mini-muffins1 cup bananas (~2 cups), mashed1/2 cup plain yogurt (I use Greek yogurt)1 tsp. baking soda1/4 oil (canola or olive oil is healthiest)1/2 – 3/4 cup sugars (I use 1/4 brown, 1/4 cup white)1 lg. egg or 2 lg. egg whites, beaten1-2 tsp vanilla1 1/2 cups flour (I use 1 c. whole wheat, 1/2 cup AP)1 tsp. cinnamon1 tsp. baking powder1/4 tsp. salt*Oats to sprinkle on top, optional.I like the oatmeal because I do not like banana bread the next day if the top is moist and soft, I think the oats help!
Preheat oven to 350° (180° C), and line or butter your loaf pan. In a small bowl, mix the mashed bananas, yogurt, and baking soda, then set aside. In a larger bowl, beat oil and sugars, slowly adding egg, then vanilla. I use a sifter, adding all of my dry ingredients and slowly adding 1/3 of the mix to the sugar mixture. Next, fold in 1/2 of the yogurt/banana mix, alternating with flour until everything is just moistened. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for about 35-45 minutes, watching carefully not to burn the top. If the top begins to burn, use a foil tent to cover and continue baking. Cool on wire rack in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan, continuing to cool completely.
