I'm posting this here and the bread thread.
This recipe came about, like many, by accident. Lisa decided to make blueberry muffins and after getting things going realized she did not have enough white flour, nor did she have vanilla extract so I mentioned wheat flour and almond extract, which we had at hand, as possibilities. Well, Judge for yourself.

Mama Lisa's Blueberry Banana Walnut Muffins
On the cooling rack.
The small loaves have browned coconut flakes added.


Just the best darned muffins you will ever eat.

2 cups white flour
½ cup wheat flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut up
1 cup roughly chopped walnuts
2 med bananas
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs
½ tsp almond extract
1 pint fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a LARGE 6 muffin size tin. In a large bowl
combine flour, sugars, baking powders and salt. Cut in butter until mixture
resembles course crumbs. Stir in walnuts. In a separate bowl, mash bananas
and mix in milk, eggs and almond extract. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin tins
all the way to the top. Bake for 30 minutes. Immediately remove muffins from
tin and cool on wire rack. Makes 6 large muffins.

*Note: You may use the smaller size muffin tins but it's my opinion they bake up better in the large size. I like the consistency better. YMMV.
