The Fourth Day of Christmas and Banana Buttermilk Muffins #MuffinMonday

I had some leftover Buttermilk in the refrigerator and some overripe bananas on the counter, so I did what I always do when I need to use up ingredients: I made muffins.

It's time for Muffin Monday........

 

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, my True Love gave to me....These muffins that are good and healthy. 

On the last Monday of each month, a group of us, under the guidance of Stacy, who blogs over at Food Lust People Love, share muffin recipes.  This is the final Muffin Monday event.  After hosting this even for many, many years, Stacy has decided to take a break.  We are saddened but completely understand.

Let's see what was baked up for this final Muffin Monday......

We are still celebrating Christmas in this household.  Today is the 4th day, and we started off with these delicious, moist muffins made with a mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat flours, with little added sugar, getting most of their sweetness from the bananas.  You can add some chopped nuts for a little extra protein if you wish.  My husband is not a big fan of nuts in his muffins.

This recipe was adapted from one found on Food.com, with the original credit going to Williams Sonoma Essentials of Healthful Cooking.   I was very pleased with the results.
