Banana Blueberry Muffins (with Dairy-Free and Vegan Options)
Combine the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with antioxidant-rich blueberries and the fiber of flaxseed meal to make a batch of these mouthwatering banana blueberry muffins that are perfect for breakfast, a midday snack, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 medium bananas, overripe
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line a muffin pan with paper liners. (This recipe makes 14 regular muffins, so you will likely need to use a second muffin pan or bake them in batches.)
- In a small bowl, gently mix flours, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars with a mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
- In another small bowl, mash bananas with a fork or potato masher. Then, stir in the milk and vanilla. The mixture will be a bit chunky.
- Using an electric mixer set at low speed, alternately add about one third of the flour mixture and one third of the mashed banana mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Spoon the batter into muffin pans, dividing evenly among 14 muffin cups.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and cook until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean and the muffin tops are golden brown (about 10-15 additional minutes).
- Let the banana blueberry muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes more.
