Like many muffin recipes, this banana blueberry muffin can also be made into delicious baked donuts. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

I like to make 12 muffins and use the rest of the batter for pancakes. For the best and fastest pancakes, I use my Dash Mini Maker. The pancakes are delicious and a fun handheld snack for kids too.
