Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even baking.
  5. Fold Ingredients Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  6. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • Fold in blueberries gently to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  • Mix batter just until combined to maintain light and airy muffins.
  • Check oven temperature and start checking muffins after 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Use muffin liners for easier cleanup and perfect muffin shape.
