Recipe by Dragon
I have to admit that I'm very particular about what I look for in the perfect muffin. Sadly, most of the muffin recipes I've tried over the years have produced dry muffins. So, I spent some time working on my own recipe. I find that bananas work well for making muffins moist. Blueberries give the muffin some sweetness and a little lemon gives it a fresh taste. These muffins are light and fresh tasting without being too sweet. The top is crunchy and the center is very moist. The perfect muffin!
