All about the muffin glaze

The vanilla muffin glaze makes it an extra special treat. So special that this batch of moist banana blueberry muffins lasted one afternoon in my house. Normally, a dozen muffins will at least last us to the next day.

Not these banana blueberry muffins. They were too good to resist.

Why are these banana blueberry muffins so good?

I think part of the reason why these banana muffins are so good is that they are banana blueberry muffins with yogurt. The addition of greek yogurt into these recipes takes these easy moist banana blueberry muffins from good to great.

How to glaze muffins?

If you have never glazed a muffin, you may be wondering how to do it. I’m here to tell you it’s easier than frosting a muffin. Simply take a scoop of the glaze with a spoon and slowly move the spoon back and forth over the muffin at an angle.
