I’m embrace my weekend mornings. It’s the time of the week I feel most relaxed, refreshed and ready to sit down to a breakfast or brunch. My usual breakfast meal of choice is an eggs benedict. They’re my absolute favorite but today is an exception. I’m switching gears and dabbling on the sweet side of breakfast eats. These Banana Berry Muffins are a nice change and a delicious one at that. Fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas are baked into a sweet, cake like muffin batter that’s topped off with a cinnamon sugar topping. It’s like having dessert for breakfast and since fresh fruit is involved, you know it’s healthy!…
This month’s Moms Crazy Cooking Challenge food blogging event is all about blueberry muffins… or muffins that involve blueberries. I’ve been having so much fun baking with a gluten free flour blend that finding a recipe to adapt was easier than I initially thought. I decided on this recipe because it allowed me to use up some leftover bananas and a handful of fresh berries. I don’t recommend using frozen fruit in this recipe so definitely use fresh if at all possible. Also, whether you use all purpose flour of a gluten free flour blend, the results are delicious and a wonderful way to kick off the day…
