If you have 2 overripe bananas sitting on your counter, do not throw them out! Instead make these yummy, soft, moist and tasty batch of whole wheat blueberry banana muffins. These are a favorite on the blog and with good reason! Everyone loves them, babies, toddler, older kids and adults. Blueberry banana muffins are the perfect treat for toddlers—a delicious, soft, and naturally sweet snack that is packed with wholesome ingredients.
These muffins combine the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the tangy burst of juicy blueberries, creating a balanced flavor that toddlers love. Not only are they easy to make, but they’re also a nutritious snack or breakfast option that parents can feel good about serving to their little ones. Made with simple ingredients and no refined sugars, these muffins are a healthier alternative to store-bought baked goods and can easily be adapted to suit different dietary needs. These are freezer friendly, excellent for meal-prepping, travel snacks, adding to lunch boxes or an after school snack. Made with whole wheat flour, these muffins are rich in fiber, which aids digestion and helps keep kids and adults feeling satisfied. The ripe bananas add a moist texture and natural sweetness, reducing the need for added sugars, while fresh blueberries burst with juicy flavor and are packed with antioxidants. They are pure perfection in every bite!
Substitutions:
Bananas- I don’t recommend substituting the bananas in this recipe, since they are the ones that give all the flavor and sweetness.
Eggs- You can sub with flax eggs or plant based egg alternative
Whole wheat flour- If you don’t have whole wheat flour that’s okay. All-purpose works well, along with spelt, white whole wheat, oat flour and gluten-free flour.
Coconut oil- You can choose any neutral oil, for example avocado oil or butter
Blueberries- You can swap blueberries with any other berry, for example strawberries or raspberries.
What you need:
For this recipe I used a mini muffin tin, you can choose a 12 cup muffin tin as well.
