    I'm absolutely nutty about eating bananas when they are just right, and prefer them to still have a touch of green for the bananas that I snack on. But I also get slightly giddy when I have a good batch of overripe, browned bananas ready to use for muffins, cakes, and banana breads!

    🥘 Ingredients

    Your pantry staples are going to combine into an amazing breakfast muffin! Some sweet browned bananas, tasty blueberries, and a hint of lemon make this banana muffins recipe the best!

    • Bananas - Brown to almost black work here. Some stores will give the very brown bananas to you for nothing!
    • Egg - Binds everything, the fresher the better.
    • Butter - Adds rich and buttery taste.
    • Sugar - Not too much, just ¾ of a cup needed. Sugar substitutes like swerve will work as well.
    • Lemon - Adds a citrus fresh taste and works really well with the blueberries.
    • Baking Soda - Leavening agent, helps the muffin rise.
    • Baking Powder - Another leavening agent for the muffin.
    • Salt - Balances the sweetness and highlights the amazing flavors!
    • All Purpose Flour - The base for the muffin, bread flour can be used as well.
    • Blueberries - Fresh blueberries are always going to be the best, but frozen will work almost as well. I love using the frozen wild blueberries too!
    • Coarse Sugar - Completely optional but makes a terrific topping!

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin pan, coat with non-stick cooking spray, or line with paper muffin liners.
    2. Using a fork mash the bananas in a medium bowl.
    3. Combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, and beaten egg.
    4. Add the sugar, lemon (juice and zest), baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    5. Mix well.
    6. Add the flour and mix just enough to incorporate into the wet mixture.
    7. In a ziploc bag combine blueberries and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Coat the blueberries in flour by gently rolling the blueberries in the flour, turning the bag upside down and back up again.
    8. Once the berries are well coated, gently fold them into the batter, to avoid turning the batter purple.
    9. Spoon into greased muffin tins (or muffin papers), filling about ⅔ full.
    10. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over each muffin (if desired).
    11. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
    12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool 2-3 minutes in the pan before serving warm.
    13. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely if the muffins will be stored for later.

    Now that you have these delicious muffins ready, do give in and share them while they're toasty warm. They're sure to be a new personal fave! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Gently fold flour coated blueberries into the batter, to avoid turning the batter purple.
    • Don't overfill your liners or tin, go only about ⅔ full.
    • Try using an ice cream scoop to portion out your batter into the muffin papers.

    🥡 Storing

    Store your homemade banana blueberry muffins for 2 to 4 days in an airtight container. Cover the bottom of the container with paper towels then arrange the muffins in a single layer.

    Cover the muffins with a single layer of paper towels and seal in your container. Replace the paper towels as needed if they are damp.

    If you will need to store longer than 4 days wrap them in clingfilm and put the muffins into a freezer zip lock bag. They will store nicely for up to 3 months.

    When you want to defrost them just pop em' out of the freezer, unwrap, and allow the muffins to come to room temperature. Enjoy them as-is, or warm for a few seconds in the microwave.
