Easy Vegan Blueberry Banana Muffins
Description
The recipe mixes mashed ripe bananas with sugar, oil, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and whole wheat or all-purpose flour, producing a simple batter that is folded together gently to maintain tenderness. Folded-in blueberries add bursts of fruity flavor and moisture throughout the muffins. Baking at 375°F for about 25 minutes results in muffins with golden tops and a soft, moist interior.
The texture is tender yet holds shape well, with lightly sweet banana notes balanced by juicy blueberries. These muffins can be eaten on their own or paired with tea or coffee for a vegan breakfast or snack option.
For mini muffin variations, baking time should be reduced and doneness tested early. Using frozen blueberries directly prevents them from bursting and discoloring the batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light instead of dense. Optionally, a few blueberries can be pressed on top before baking for a decorative touch.
