Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are so juicy and moist! They’re super easy to make from scratch and freeze beautifully!

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.

If you’ve tried this or any other of my recipes, don’t forget to rate the recipe and to leave me a comment. I love hearing from you!
These muffins turned out so moist and delicious! The only changes I made were to double the cinnamon because we love it so much, and added some toasted walnuts. Divine! Thanks so much for an easy yet amazing recipe
Can you use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats?
Yes, you can. The texture of the muffins might be a bit coarser.
These are so good! I never have unsalted butter, so I use salted and just omit the salt in the recipe. I also use one packet of maple and brown sugar oatmeal instead of plain oatmeal. These are my new favorites because of how quick and easy they are!
These are very moist and delicious! Definitely will make these whenever I have spotted bananas!
