BANANA BERRY MUFFINS
In Pembina, North Dakota, Alyce Wyman bakes up these moist muffins with a sweet nut topping. "The original recipe called for bran cereal with raisins," she says. "But I was out of that cereal one day, so I used plain bran flakes and added blueberries instead of raisins. Now I always make it this way."

BANANA-BERRY MUFFINS
These muffins are jam-packed with fresh berries and are super moist! The tartness of the raspberries is perfectly balanced by the brown sugar and banana. The banana flavor is very light and used to highlight the berries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F/ 204°C.
- Grease or line 12 muffin cups.
- Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Beat bananas in a large bowl with electric mixer until mashed, add eggs, brown sugar, butter and vanilla, beat until well mixed.
- Stir in combined dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until almost blended. Stir in berries just until combined.
- Spoon into prepared cups evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack, enjoy.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas to achieve the best flavor and texture in your muffins. Overripe bananas are ideal, as they will yield a sweeter, moister muffin.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly to prevent large chunks from forming in the batter. Smooth banana puree will ensure a consistent muffin texture.
- Combine the wet ingredients (banana, eggs, milk, and melted butter) in a separate bowl before adding them to the dry ingredients. This will help prevent overmixing, which can result in tough muffins.
- Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined, as overmixing can lead to dense, dry muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise in the oven. Overfilling the cups can result in muffins that spill over and bake unevenly.
- Bake the muffins at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Conclusion:
The banana-berry muffins are a delectable treat that offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures. With a moist, tender crumb, a sweet banana flavor, and a burst of juicy berries, these muffins are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. Enjoy them as a breakfast treat, a midday snack, or a dessert.
