butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and is dairy-free.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with added moisture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: oat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

blueberries

🥗Healthier: dried cranberries

💰Cheaper: frozen blueberries

Frozen blueberries are more affordable and still nutritious.

Unwrap 2 overripe bananas and mash them in a bowl until mostly smooth.

Add 2 eggs and 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.

In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon baking powder; whisk together.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Fold in 1 cup to 1.5 cups of blueberries until evenly dispersed in the batter.

Grab a muffin tray and line it with baking cups.

Scoop the batter into each muffin cup until filled to the top.

Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, checking for doneness after 15 minutes.
