Chichay's "Blueberry Banana-Nut Muffins"

What happens when we have overripe bananas and too much blueberries in our kitchen? We make muffins out of them and have it for lunch. Haha! Yes, I am guilty of it, but these muffins are really moist and tasty, you would not be able to resist it.

Chichay's tips: 

Blueberries: if you use dried blueberries (like the ones you can buy from Costco, soak it first in warm milk or wate, then drain before using. If you use frozen, do not thaw and use it frozen.

Bananas: if the bananas are not over-riped, mix the mashed bananas with a tablespoon of agave syrup or honey before using in this recipe.
Substitute: If you do not have blueberries, substitute with any dried berries like cranberry, or even raisins, but soak them in hot water first and then drain before using.

Enjoy!

3 In a separate bowl, beat eggs; gradually add sugar, oil and vanilla while continuing to beat.

5. Gently mix in the flour mix to the egg mixture alternately with the sour cream; fold in the blueberries & nuts. (Do not over mix the batter!)

6. Use a large scoop to add batter to prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle each cup with some sugar (for added crunch to the finished product).
