    These Banana Blueberry Muffins are a great way to use overripe bananas! We love making them whenever we have bananas that are ripe and ready.

    This is a quick and easy muffin recipe and goes perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. We love using ripe bananas instead of tossing them and these muffins are perfectly sweetened by the overripe bananas.

    Recipe ingredients and notes

    • Blueberries – We love using fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe.
    • Butter – We use country crock plant butter when making them dairy free.
    • Eggs – If you cannot have eggs, you can use 1/4 cup of banana or applesauce per egg.
    • Bananas – This helps add sweetness and moisture to the muffins and the banana flavor.
    • Vanilla – Real vanilla extract is a must for the best flavor
    • Flour – We use all-purpose flour, but your favorite gluten-free one-for-one flour can also be used.
    • Baking Powder – This helps our muffins rise.
    • Milk – You can use regular milk or non-dairy milk, and our preferred is full-fat oat milk.
    • Salt – Just a pinch of salt helps balance all the flavors.

    How to make Banana Blueberry Muffins

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

    Mix together the butter and sugar. Then mix in the banana, vanilla, and eggs. It will break the mixture, but don’t worry it will come back together.

    Mix in the flour, and then once fully combined, fold in the blueberries.

    Scoop the muffin batter into a lined baking muffin tin and bake for 30 minutes.

    Allow the muffins to cool before eating.

    Recipe tips and variations

    • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries.
    • Prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom by tossing them in about 2 tablespoons of flour.
    • These muffins can be made with any other add-ins, from dried fruit, chocolate, fresh fruit, or even nuts and seeds.
    • Love chocolate? Add some!
    • Add a sprinkle of sugar to the top to make them more bakery-like.

    Storage and reheating tips

    • Refrigerate: Store any leftover muffins in an air-tight container on the counter for 2-3 days.
    • Freeze: To freeze the muffins, place them in an airtight freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 months.
    • Reheat: To reheat the muffins, you can microwave them for about 10 seconds.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I use frozen bananas for muffins?

    Yes! This works well with frozen bananas as well. Just make sure they were ripe or overripe before freezing as they’re naturally sweeter.

    Can I make this into bite size mini muffins?

    Absolutely! We bake mini banana chocolate chip muffins all the time! You’ll need to adjust the time. We usually bake for 12-15 minutes.
