Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are so juicy and moist! They’re super easy to make from scratch and freeze beautifully! I always make one or two batches at a time and put half of them in the freezer so I have a quick breakfast for busy days. They keep for about 3 months in the freezer and thaw quickly.

Muffins are probably one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. Perfect to grab and go on days where time is short but also so delicious warm from the oven with a little bit of butter on the weekend. These blueberry banana muffins are great for breakfast or snack time! My whole family loves them!

I don’t mind making these muffins because they are so easy to whip up and take only a few minutes in the oven. And the best thing is, these Banana Blueberry Muffins only have 170 calories each so I don’t have to feel guilty if I have two (or three) because who could resist them?! They are bursting with flavor!

How to make the best Banana Blueberry Muffins

  • I like to use muffin liners for this recipe because the muffins are very moist! They will be easier to remove from the pan and easier to store.
  • Instead of melted butter, you can also use the same amount canola oil. I like to use melted butter because of its flavor.
  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. If you are using frozen blueberries don’t thaw them and don’t work the batter too much after adding them because they will bleed into the batter.
  • Spotty bananas work best for this recipe because they are sweeter and mash more easily.
  • You can reduce the amount of sugar to 1/3 cup if your bananas are very ripe and sweet.
  • Don’t over-mix the batter! This is important for every muffin recipe. To ensure that your muffins are light and fluffy mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just barely combined and no more dry flour is visible.
  • Top these muffins with a little bit coarse sugar before baking or with a crumb topping (2 Tbsp butter, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour)
  • Don’t let the muffins cool in the muffin pan! Give them a couple minutes to cool off in the pan, then remove them from the pan and transfer them to a cooling rack.

Can you freeze Banana Blueberry Muffins?

You can freeze these banana muffins. Allow them to cool completely then put them in an airtight freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. Thaw them on the counter for 2-3 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, then bring the muffins to room temperature or warm them up in the microwave.

    Made these this morning, very easy and moist. I did not use paper liners and they removed easily from the pan. These are my new favorite and will make again. Easy clean up too

    I made these today. Just added butter and oil 1:1 instead of 1/3 cup butter only. They came out so moist and fluffy and we are just loving it. Thank you for so easy and tasty recipe.

    I will make these again for sure. Super easy and quick. I was looking for a recipe to incorporate bananas, blueberries, and oats and the simple ingredients was what made me decide to choose this one. Very light and moist. 👍🏻👍🏻

    This is such a great recipe, thank you! I changed it up & used oil instead of butter, 50/50 wholemeal & white flour, added 2 tbsp desiccated coconut and a scoop of protein powder & the whole family absolutely LOVE them! “best muffin I’ve ever eaten, without a doubt!” says the hubby :) These will be a definite favorite, that’s for sure!

    1. Okay, You can’t leave a comment about how you basically changed the whole recipe and your family loved it. I did the whole recipe to a T and my family loved it!

    I made these today because I have a similar recipe and wanted to see how this one was. These are very moist and tasty. There is a little flavor of the baking soda (since it uses both baking powder and soda, but it isn’t overpowering). I’m sure I will make them again.
