Raspberry White Chocolate Banana Muffins

Raspberry White Chocolate Banana Muffins

I originally wanted to make these muffins with fresh strawberries and I'm sure that option would also be very tasty but the speckled bananas on the counter top were very sweet indeed so I decided a tart raspberry counterpoint was in order. Frozen berries were all I had on hand so in they went. Result = absolutely delicious! These moist tender muffins are ready in no time and would be sure to make anyone's morning special.

Makes 10 - 12

Cream together:

1/3 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar

Beat in:

1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix in:

3 medium mashed bananas

Sift together:

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Fold into the banana mixture until the flour is almost incorporated then fold in:

3/4 cup frozen raspberries
4 ounces chopped white chocolate

Spoon batter evenly into paper lined muffin tins, then bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
