BANANA ALMOND BUTTER MUFFINS

ALMOND BUTTER makes these muffins special

When I set out to make these banana muffins I had one main thought in mind—THEY NEED TO BE SUPER DUPER MOIST. Done and done. Inside I incorporated almond butter to give it a little extra oomph when it comes to flavor but also knowing that the moisture from it would keep the inside wetter. SO PERFECT!

FYI. My plan was to freeze a bunch of these so that my family get through them without any going bad before we could get to them. Well, we’ve been eating through them so quickly that it became very clear that was entirely unnecessary. That’s all to say, I (WE) LOVE THESE!

TO MAKE YOUR BANANA MUFFINS

4. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Add 3/4 of your blueberries.
6. Grease your muffin baking sheet with your butter spray.

9. Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon onto each muffin.
