blueberry banana are my favourite! The way i make them is pretty similar but to boost the health'iness of them, i replace the flour with ground porridge oats, replace the canola spread with olive oil, replace the sour cream with fat free plain yoghurt. Other than that those muffins are exactly the kind i make mass amounts of and freeze :) YUMM!!

Yummy! Will have to put that recipe in my book.

Too yummy. Too delicious. I don't think I could stop at one. Too dangerous in my house.

Still thinking about your 3 rules.

Simple.

Yet not easy.

i wonder if you can subsititute the flour for oats or whole wheat flour..? They sound good though, I'm a sucker for muffins.
