Meatball Stuffed Muffins - Feature of the Day

I thought this recipe for Meatball Stuffed Un-Cornmeal Muffins by Creating Silver Linings looked very interesting.  They are both corn free and gluten free, and I know many people need more recipes in those categories. With my thyroid issue, I really should eat less gluten, so I am always looking for GF recipes to try. I also have to feed three teenagers, so I want recipes they will also like.  I have never thought of stuffing a muffin with meat, but I think it sounds like something our whole family will enjoy.  Stop by Creating Silver Linings for the recipe for Meatball Stuffed Muffins  and many more.  Thank you so much for linking up this great recipe to Dare to Share .

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins - Feature of the Day

I really love chocolate and zucchini, so when I saw Jeni from I Got This Martha posted a muffin recipe with both ingredients together, I had to check it out.  In her post, I found out we have something in common, problems with our thyroid.  Now that I know that her chocolate zucchini muffins are low in iodine, and delicious,  I want to try them even more.  To see her recipe, be sure to check out I Got This Martha, here.  Thank you so much for linking up to Dare to Share Jeni!

The Fruit Lovers Muffin

 

Our bananas are starting to turn brown, so you know what that means... its time for another banana bread recipe.
                                        

My family loves my banana bread.  I have featured it several times on the blog.  Here is my blueberry banana bread that I made last summer after blueberry picking.   I have also made banana chocolate chip muffins, banana strawberry muffins.

This week Meijer  had several types of fruit on sale.  I bought blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and cherries.  I also bought a few peaches earlier in the week at Kroger. (though those are gone now)   I wondered how a banana muffin would tasted with several types of fruit.I used the basic banana bread recipe that I use as the base for all my other recipes.    In addition to the banana,  I added 3 handfuls of blueberries and several large strawberries.   I debated on adding some of the cherries or raspberries, but thought it might  have too much fruit if I added those too.

 I decided that three types of fruit was enough to try  for this batch.   Every muffin had a lot of fruit as I spooned them into the cupcake pan.

Fresh out of  the oven.  They turned out the perfect shade of brown.

These will be perfect for Sunday breakfast, but I had to try one while it was warm.
The muffin I tried was exploding with fruit inside.  I added a little bit of light butter, and thought it was delicious!   You will definitely get your fruit servings in for the day with these muffins.
