I thought today I would share with you my recipe for blueberry muffins! A couple of months ago, I decided I wanted to do some baking. I hadn’t planned on baking anything so I worked with what I had in the house — some frozen blueberries in the freezer and a few other ingredients around the kitchen.  So I figured I would try making some simple blueberry muffins!

Recently, I’ve been really trying to not use processed sugars in some of my new recipes because I don’t think it’s always necessary …and it’s not really healthy. I would like to find a good alternative to processed flour, but, right now, I’ve pretty much eliminated processed sugar.  With that being said, there’s no added sugar in this recipe; but there’s definitely still enough sweetness from some of the ingredients!

These muffins were really easy to make and I thought they turned out pretty good, so I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 large, ripe bananas
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
