Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups ripe, mashed banana (about 3 large)
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- Milk, as needed
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Peel your ripe bananas, add them to a medium bowl and, using the back of a fork, mash them until well combined and a puree is formed.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and stir until well combined.
- In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract and beat until well combined and the sugar is well incorporated.
- Pour the flour mixture into the banana mixture, then beat or whisk until well combined. Depending on the ripeness of your bananas, the batter may be a little thick. If you find it too thick simply add a couple of tablespoons of milk to loosen it up slightly; you want the batter to be thick but not overly gloopy.
- Add blueberries to the batter and gently fold them into the mixture. (Note: If using frozen berries, add the blueberries to a small bowl, sprinkle with a tablespoon of flour, and toss until well coated in flour – this will help the blueberries from bleeding into the batter. Then add the flour-coated blueberries to the batter, leaving any excess flour behind, and fold until well combined.)
- Spoon the batter across the muffin pan, dividing it evenly to make 12 muffins.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow to cool slightly, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack and allow to cool to room temperature.
- The muffins can be served immediately, stored at room temperature for 4 days, in the fridge for up to 6 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
