Description

Enjoy these homemade banana blueberry muffins, featuring ripe bananas and juicy blueberries. Perfectly spiced and easy to bake, they make a delightful breakfast or snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 3/4 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup (106g) light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (170g) full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup (227g) mashed ripe banana
  • 1 pint (292g) fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sparkling sugar optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk the melted butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, and mashed bananas until fully combined.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, gently mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over mix to avoid dry muffins!
  5. Fold in the blueberries and walnuts until just mixed in.
  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each one to the top.
  7. Optional: Press a few extra blueberries into the tops of each muffin and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if desired.
  8. Bake in the center of the oven for 24 to 26 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For an extra moist muffin, ensure bananas are very ripe before mashing.
You can substitute blueberries with other fruits like raspberries or chopped strawberries if desired.
For a dairy-free option, replace butter with coconut oil and sour cream with a dairy-free alternative.
