There is something strangely comforting about the scent of baked bananas, warm blueberry muffins and a mug of coffee on a cold day.
I had a maniacal obsession with perfecting this recipe. 5 batches of muffins and one getting-over-muffins-boyfriend later, I think I am finally happy with it.
These muffins are moist, fluffy and perfectly comforting. The combination of sweet over-ripe bananas, oozing blueberries and crunchy walnuts make for the perfect teatime snack!
