Banana Wheat Muffins

Both the banana and buttermilk contribute to the flavor, moistness and tenderness of these whole wheat muffins.

Recipe Ingredients:

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup chopped banana
