KITTENCAL'S 1-GRAM LOW FAT BANANA-BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line 12 regular-size muffin tins with paper liners. In a large bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt cinnamon, nutmeg (if using) and blueberries. In another bowl beat banana, sour cream, sugar, egg and vanilla until just blended; stir into the dry blueberry mixture JUST until combined (do not over mix a few small lumps are fine!). Scoop/divide the mixture between the muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins test done. *NOTE* for a double recipe; because of the large amount of baking powder prepare each recipe in two separate bowls, do not double one recipe into one bowl.
