Bananas are a nutritional powerhouse, containing B6, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, and are rich in fibre. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, phytoflavinoids, vitamin C and K. And muffins? Well, they’re just delicious and they make the perfect vessel for the two combined.
A big thank you to Lisa Anslow, an Endeavour graduate, for this tasty recipe.
