Banana Blueberry Muffins Recipe
Banana Blueberry Muffins combine mashed ripe bananas and fresh blueberries in a lightly spiced, tender crumb. The batter includes brown sugar for sweetness, Greek yogurt for moisture, and cinnamon for warmth. Baked until golden and toothpick-clean, the muffins offer moistness and bursts of fruit in each bite. This recipe yields individually portioned treats suitable for breakfast or snacks, topped with extra blueberries for visual appeal.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 egg room temperature, large
- 1 ½ cups banana about 3 medium, mashed ripe
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt room temperature, full fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries plus more for sprinkling on top, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin pan with parchment paper muffin liners or grease the muffin pan with oil. Do not use regular muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until blended. Whisk in the banana, brown sugar, yogurt, and vanilla until combined, then fold in the dry ingredients until no flour pockets remain. Fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter in the prepared muffin tin. Top each muffin with a couple blueberries. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-24 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Freeze muffins for up to 3 months to preserve freshness for later use.
- Reheat frozen or refrigerated muffins in the microwave for 30 seconds to one minute before serving.
