Hi! I found your recipe searching pinterest. I was looking for banana muffin recipes for my ripe bananas. I also have frozen blueberries in my freezer. But, this morning I was in the mood for banana/walnut muffins and I substituted walnuts for the berries. They were delicious! I’m always looking for recipes with healthy ingredients. I will definitely make again with blueberries!!! : )
My favourite muffins recipe. I’ve passed onto many friends.
Oh….I’m so glad you like the recipe Mel!♥
