Banana blueberry muffins

Recipe by: Julie Van Den Driesschen

You won’t be surprised to learn that I prefer to start my day with something sweet.

I don’t usually worry about the extra calories, but if there’s an alternative that doesn’t compromise taste, I’ll definitely go with it.

I’m sure you’re going to love these banana muffins made with guilt-free Zùsto. Full of flavour, sweet and soft, each muffin contains 284 kcal instead of 500 kcal on average for the classic version.

I’ve discovered a new friend in the kitchen, and I’m sure it’s going to be kept very busy!

  3. Mix with a whisk until you obtain a smooth mixture.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix briefly with a spatula or wooden spoon (tip: if you want your muffins to have a sandy consistency, don’t mix too much)

Tip: they are so delicious when they’re warm!
