Power Banana Blueberry Muffins

For breakfast this morning I wanted to make some muffins.  I had some fresh blueberries in my fridge that I needed to use.  So I decided to make these Power Banana Blueberries muffins.  My boys, (ages 1 and 3.. Almost) love muffins.  So I thought this would be a great chance to put these muffins up to the kid test.  Oh man, it was a hit this morning.  My husband and my brother in law had them for breakfast as well and they each had 3.  My 1 year old (well one next Thursday) kept on eating them.  The reason these are POWER muffins is because they are packed in with lots of goodness: blueberries, banana, oats, and to add extra protein GREEK YOGURT..  yeah that’s right.. POWER. Great way to start a morning.  AND not to mention they freeze great! That is always a plus.  I like to double a recipe and freeze half of it.  Saves time later on.  Which is great for busy moms :)  

These muffins are easy to make.  My (almost) 3 year old was my helper.  

First mix all the wet ingredients: Yogurt, eggs, butter, and vanilla.  then add the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix together.  wash your blueberries.
Fold Blueberries into batter.

I use 2 big spoons to spoon batter into a regular size muffin tin. Mine made 17 muffins.

Bake @ 350 for 20- 25 minutes or until golden and spings back when you gently touch the top. 

Easy yummy muffins packed with POWER ingredients.
