Ingredients
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium-sized ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
Getting Started
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together flours, wheat germ, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars with a mixer until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl,
mash bananas with a fork (you should have 3/4 cup); stir in milk
and vanilla.
- With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture and banana mixture to
butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until
combined. Fold in frozen blueberries.
- Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the
center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes, rotating pan halfway
through. Let cool in pan 10 minutes; transfer muffins to a rack to
cool 10 minutes more.
