If you’re a regular here, you remember my mention here that we are currently overtaken by a huge banana harvest from the backyard garden. This is the first of probably way too many banana recipes you’ll see popping up here soon. I love the opportunity to play around in the kitchen making up new banana recipes, like these golden healthy blueberry banana muffins that may or may not have gotten a little toasty on the bottom as I absentmindedly enjoyed a leisurely cup of cereal and yogurt. I know I’m not the only one who’s forgotten baked goods in the oven, right?
Back to the subject…These muffins are great on-the-go. They make for a quick breakfast fix or healthy picnic dessert. These healthy blueberry banana muffins are much more nutritious than the oversized sugary giants in Starbuck’s pastry case. If you’re a seriously devoted health nut (I mean that in the best sense of the word, really!) looking for an even more wholesome muffin, check out these blueberry banana bran muffins, otherwise, get to your pantry stat, and bake up a batch of these golden beauties.
Healthy Blueberry Banana Muffins
- 2 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 1 t. baking soda
- 1 t. salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 c. oil
- 1/2 c. water or milk
- 4 medium bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 c. blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 F.
In a medium bowl stir together flours, sugar, soda, and salt.
Grease or line 18 muffin tin spaces.
Mash bananas.
In a large bowl whisk together remaining ingredients except berries. Mix the dry ingredients into wet and then stir in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove muffins from tin and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
What is your favorite summer picnic treat?
Yummy. This recipe has made me hungry. I’m going to add the ingredients to my shopping list and make some of these next week. X
I sure hope you love them as much as we did! Happy baking, Lucy.

Thanks so much for visiting, Mary Beth. I’d definitely recommend reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth if you’re considering homebirth. It’s a great tool to help you know what to expect. Thanks for visiting.
Blueberries and banana – yum.
I found this via the Create & Inspire party. I have linked in a pork and apple curry.
Have a great week.
These look good!
Jelli,
These sound delicious! I love the picture of the baby waiting for the muffin, right? Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday last week. I can’t wait to see what you link up next. Have a great week.
