Blueberry Banana Muffins
Description
This muffin recipe balances mashed banana with granulated sugar and melted butter, contributing moisture and slight sweetness. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, providing a leavened structure. After mixing wet and dry components, the blueberries are tossed with flour to prevent sinking and gently folded into the batter, protecting their shape and distribution.
Baked at 375°F for about 18 to 20 minutes, the muffins develop a tender crumb with pockets of soft blueberries. Once cooled, an optional glaze made from powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and melted butter adds a subtle citrus finish and a slight sheen to the tops.
These muffins keep well at room temperature stored loosely covered or in a container for up to five days, maintaining moisture and flavor. They make a convenient make-ahead breakfast or snack option.
