Steps:

• 1. Rinse frozen blueberries under water in strainer until thawed.
• 2. In a mixer on high speed, whip the 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup applesauce until mixed without lumps.

HEALTHY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• If you have an electric mixer, use it to beat the applesauce and sugar until light and fluffy. I mixed the ingredients by hand, with a whisk, since I don't have an electric mixer.
• Add egg and beat well, then yogurt, lemon juice, banana and zest.
• If you have a sifter, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and sift half of dry ingredients over batter. I don't have a sifter, so I mixed the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and added it to the bowl of liquid ingredients.
• Mix until combined.
• Sift (or add) remaining dry ingredients into batter and mix just until the flour disappears.
• Gently fold in your blueberries (or whatever fruit you're using).
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are golden.

VERY HEALTHY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Put the water, nut butter, salt, and bananas in a blender and blend until well mixed (can also be mixed by hand, though it takes longer).
• Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the flour and baking powder. Mix moderately well.
• Add the blueberries (and the nuts if wanted) and mix well.
• Place the batter in a muffin tin (there should be enough to fill a standard 12 muffin tin). A large spoon or a moderate sized ice cream scoop work well.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Place the tin in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes.
