These muffins are super healthy and perfect for a kiddies lunchbox. They are high in fibre, full of fruit and antioxidant rich blueberries, and also contain very little sugar. The sugar can even be omitted from the recipe if you are feeding toddlers or 9-12mth olds. However, if omitting the sugar, my husband highly recommends a liberal spread of margarine and honey.
I often buy more bananas than I need. Most bananas get eaten pretty quickly around here, but a few will inevitably start to brown and spread that sickly sweet overripe banana smell that we are all so familiar with. I like to peel these overripe bananas, wrap them in cling film, and then freeze them to use later. They are an absolute staple in my freezer. Once defrosted, they can be used as a sugar substitute in cakes, muffins, pikelets, smoothies, and other desserts.
