I think I could write a whole blog dedicated to muffin recipes. I make a batch of muffins pretty much every week. They are quick and easy to make, and perfect for storing in your freezer for a fast breakfast.

I like to make my muffins on the healthier side so I can snack on a muffin and still keep to my healthy eating goals. Sometimes I make my tried and true favorite muffin recipes, such as these healthy banana muffins or these pumpkin muffins, and sometimes I like to experiment with a new recipe like this one.

I developed this recipe at my sister’s request. She was looking for a healthy blueberry banana muffin that’s easy to make and doesn’t require any crazy ingredients. I was so happy when my first batch turned out pretty close to perfect, and after testing it a few times (and having my sister and mom test it, too), I’m excited to share it with you!

My kids and I love this recipe. The kids just gobble them up! Sometimes I’ll give them a muffin and they pick it apart, eating some and leaving big crumbles of muffin behind on their plates. Not with these Light and Fluffy Blueberry Banana Muffins. Every. Crumb. Gone.

These couldn’t be easier to make, either. First you’ll want to mash up some ripe bananas. The riper, the better, as over-ripe bananas add natural sweetness to the muffins. Whisk together the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls, combine, and the batter is done! I’ve made these Light and Fluffy Blueberry Banana Muffins with both fresh and frozen blueberries, and they are delicious either way. For me, frozen is usually more convenient. Fresh blueberries often get eaten straight from the bowl and don’t last very long in my house!

If you’re making these Light and Fluffy Blueberry Banana Muffins for kids or to bring for sharing at a brunch, I recommend making them in mini form. The mini muffins are cute and easy to pop into your mouth, and my kids like that they can eat three! Though they’d eat even more than three if I’d let them. 😉

These Light and Fluffy Blueberry Banana Muffins are easy to make, whole-wheat, and free of refined sugars! They are perfect for make-ahead breakfasts or snacks!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour, see note
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • â…“ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana, about 3 medium
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin (or mini muffin tins) with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, maple syrup, mashed banana, egg, milk, and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until almost combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, dividing batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (Bake mini muffins for about 12 minutes.) Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

YI've also made these muffins with all white whole-wheat flour and they are delicious that way, too. Plus, that makes them 100% whole grain! If your tastes haven't adjusted to 100% whole-wheat, then you might prefer these made with part all-purpose flour.
