The Story Behind Blueberry Banana Muffins
During the summer, we spent a few weeks in Virginia visiting with family. Both of our families live in rural Virginia where the fun activities are few and far between. By far, I mean, we typically drive an hour to do a “fun” kid-friendly activity.
However, there is the cutest little blueberry patch within a 5 minute drive from my in-law’s house. I actually used to hate blueberries until I had these. They are plump and super sweet. My kids have picked and eaten so many blueberries from this patch. In fact, we usually leave with blueberry stained cheeks.
Unfortunately, this summer, we missed the window of prime blueberry picking. Fortunately for us, other family members went earlier in the summer and picked so many blueberries that we had bucket loads waiting for us when we arrived.
My mother-in-law doesn’t bake, and my kids don’t really enjoy blueberries in their pancakes, so I decided to whip up a batch of blueberry muffins. The bananas were also going bad, so I decided why not combine the two? I was feeling pretty lazy at the moment, so instead of a streusel topping, I decided to just sprinkle some brown sugar on top and boy was that a good decision!
The brown sugar topping gives it the right amount of crunch. It’s so good that my kids get a little upset with me because I keep swiping bites of their muffin tops. We all know that muffin tops are the best, but these just are incredible.
