When I was pregnant I had a major craving for sweets and fruits – especially blueberries! I started making blueberry muffins to satisfy those cravings and I became hooked. After playing around with my recipe I came up with the perfect blueberry banana recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups cake flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between cake flour and regular flour?

The main difference between cake flour and all purpose flour is the protein content. Cake flour has slightly lower protein content which creates cakes or baked goods that have a more soft texture.

Can I freeze extra muffins?

Yes! These muffins freeze really well. To freeze muffins, store in an airtight container for up to 6 months in the freezer.

When you’re ready to eat, defrost in the fridge 24 hours before eating.
