Amazing Blueberry Banana Muffins

By Alexandra Nucci, Registered Nutritionist

Summer sunshine brings summer bounty! It’s peak berry season here in Ontario, which means that fresh, organically grown berries are widely available at farmers markets and grocery stores. At the top of my berry list? Blueberries!

Blueberries are jam-packed with nutrients and are the ultimate everyday superfood! They contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals and are super high in antioxidants which help protect you from illness.  They are such a refreshing and healthy treat on their own, but they are also amazing when baked into muffins. Wanna make some?

Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup smooth almond butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened nut milk
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
-½ tsp baking soda
-Pinch of salt
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
