Blueberry, Banana and White Chocolate Muffins are divinely moist and delicious! For a more fancy version head over to my Blueberry, Banana & White Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe with a white chocolate drizzle!
In honour of Mother’s Day I thought I would bake Blueberry, Banana and White Chocolate Muffins which having had a road test in our house, went down very well (even with a certain person who says they don’t like blueberries). I always think if you can put fruit like bananas and blueberries in cake then you don’t need to feel nearly as guilty eating it, plus when it tastes this good it’s the perfect win win situation. I won’t pretend these are the muffins I’d planned to make though!
I really need to take a leaf out of Mary Berry’s book who said recently that she has a secret hiding place for her cooking chocolate!
I went to my cupboard and discovered that several bars had diminished to a lonely bar of white chocolate so that was my first change.
Then the raspberries I’d planned to use had freezer burn so they were crossed off my ingredient list.
Finally I was out of fancy paper muffin cases – all in all I was now wondering if I was meant to bake at all.
A quick rummage in the freezer found some blueberries that I’d frozen and I found some plain muffin cases so all was not lost. Then it dawned on me that I was very low on baking powder but luckily there was just 1 teaspoon left. Talk about flying by the seat of your pants!
Anyway the combination of Blueberries, Banana and White Chocolate proved to be a winning one so maybe some things are just meant to be!
Have you had to change a cake recipe like this and it worked out well. Do let me know in the comments section below.
As these Blueberry, Banana and White Chocolate Muffins are totally made from scratch I’m entering them into Javelin Warrior’s Made with Love Mondays challenge. I am also entering them into the No Waste Food Challenge run by Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary and this month hosted by Chris from Cooking Around the World as I froze my bargain blueberries to stop them from perishing when I didn’t get round to using them at Christmas.
PS: Dad, if you’re reading this – don’t show mum!

Oh my gosh… The most moist muffins ever, people!
I used frozen mixed berries because that’s all I had and topped with crumbled up scotch fingers, oats and white choc chips. This is the first recipe that is true to the yield. I was worried they might not be properly cooked through because they felt a bit soft but the skewer came out clean, I “had” to test one of course and they’re perfect, just really moist and bouncy. Thanks for sharing <3 from Aus

These sound amazing! I like to put a crumb on top of blueberry muffins as it gives it an almost breakfast feel? And who doesn’t like cake for breakfast?
Camilla
A crumble type thing – sounds good:-)
Heather Haigh
