directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 and spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick spray.
  • Place the banana in a small mixing bowl and mash with a fork. You should have 1/2 cup mashed banana. Stir in the yogurt, egg and vanilla just until combined. Set aside.
  • Place the muffin mix in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yogurt mixture into the well and stir just until combined.
  • Pour the blueberries that come with the muffin mix into a strainer, rinse under cold water and drain well. Fold them into the batter until just combined. The batter will still be a little bit lumpy.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling it 3/4 full. Set aside.
  • To make the topping, place the pecans, brown sugar and flour in a small bowl and stir together. Add the butter, mashing it with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
  • With your hands, sprinkle a heaping teaspoon of the topping on each muffin. Place the pan in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until the pecan topping is deep golden and the muffins just spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, about 20 to 23 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from pans. Cool 15 minutes more before serving.

  1. "Yum, yum, yum", said my 8 year old son! This is a great muffin!!! I love that it added a bit of health value to an otherwise unhealthy mix. My bananas were frozen, so I mashed them and let them thaw out for this and another recipe. For the yogurt, all I had was ff strawberry cheesecake, but that apparently was a good thing. Also used finely chopped walnuts, because my family is a big fan! I baked them for a little over the time here, but I made them a bit larger. Will be giving some to my friend when I see him this weekend. He and his daughter love this sort of thing. Thanks so much!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
