Chockfull of blueberries and packed with banana, these easy Banana Blueberry Muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone!!
These muffins are buttery and soft on the inside with big bakery tops. They have that perfect moist but fluffy texture!
It took me three tries to get Banana Blueberry Muffins(or Blueberry Banana Muffins, whichever you prefer) right.
The first time was just an absolutely miserable failure. Although I know it’s the nature of the game when it comes to the creation of baking recipes, it is still annoying, especially since I hate to do things multiple times and I don’t like to waste food or ingredients. They barely rose and were ungodly dense. They got thrown away.
It happens.
I made the second batch at 6 AM one morning when I couldn’t sleep (isn’t that what normal people regularlydo?). They were better, but still fell as soon as they came out of the oven. I pulled out a few clumps of hair and tried again.
Luckily, third times a charm! They were moist, but still fluffy, with perfectly domed, golden tops. They made me happy.
For what it’s worth, I think baking them straight in the pan (no liner) makes a difference. They cooked a little faster and had more domed tops on them. Also, I was drowning in muffins by the end of this, so this recipe is for 6 jumbo muffins or 12 regular muffins.
If making regular size muffins, start checking the muffins around 20 minutes or so.

Ingredients
- 2 overripe bananas
- 4 T butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups flour 1/4 cup reserved
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter. Mash in the bananas using a potato masher or wooden spoon. Stir in the sugar, vanilla, eggs and juice until well combined.
Sprinkle the baking soda, baking powder and salt over the top, stir in. Mix in 1¼ cups of flour, and stir until combined. Batter will be lumpy.
Toss the remaining ¼ cup flour with the blueberries and fold into the batter. Spray a jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray, or line with liners if desired. Use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups ¾ full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the muffin tops are golden brown. Let cool slightly before removing from pan.

Toss the remaining ¼ cup with the blueberries? When does the 3/4 cup of blueberries go in?Reply
Jacqueline says
Toss the remaining 1/4 cup of flour with the blueberries and then you fold it all into the batter 🙂

Very nice, fluffy domes indeed. I didn’t have oh so I used a cranberry blend instead. Mine cooked for 35 minutes for a 6 muffin tray. Delicious!Reply
Novie says
What does 4T butter mean? 4 Tablespoons? Also, I am wanting to use small cup muffin tray, what difference will that make? I should reduce the baking time to 25min? Thanks!!

Hi Novie,
Yes 4 T is tablespoons. I don’t know what the exact timing will be- I would start with 15 minutes and keep checking them until the tops spring back and/or they pass the toothpick test.

Can you use frozen blueberries?

Jacqueline says
Not my personal preference, but if you do, make sure that you thaw them and drain them well.

I made these jumbo muffins this morning and they were very tasty. I did use half oat flour when I made them, which gave them a hint of oatmeal flavor. They were easy to make and I would definitely make again.Reply

What can I use as a substitute for the orange juice. I don’t have any and I’m stuck indoors due to snow.

These are delicious! I did measure out 2/3 cup of mashed banana to represent “2 medium” bananas as 3 medium bananas (mashed) is equal to one cup. Be sure to use over ripe bananas. I also made 12 muffins in a regular muffin tin, without the liners and started watching them after 15 minutes (they baked a total of 18 minutes). And I used fresh squeezed orange juice. Thank you for a marvelous recipe. As always, never over beat or stir muffin batter!!!!Reply

I made these for my son and his family. Followed the he recipe for the muffins, but added oatmeal pecan crumble topping with brown sugar and just a little cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.. These came out wonderfully fluffy and even my fussy two year old granddaughter ate one up. I regret not holding back a couple for hubby and myself, but that just means I’ll have to make them again!Reply
Joey Crerar says
So easy to make… most ingredients are mixed in one bowl. They are so moist and flavourfull!
I made them yesterday and today I had to make a second batch (couldn’t let my ripe bananas go to waste!)
This recipe is a keeper!Reply
Carrie says
These are fantastic! I was all set to make some trader joes Blueberry muffins and then was short an egg and was disappointed at the dried blueberries I was to soak. I had real blueberries and all the ingredients for these. What a great tasting muffin! This has been added to my go-to list!Reply
