What Are Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffins?
These healthy banana blueberry muffins are simple muffins made with a few wholesome ingredients in just a few minutes.
They are delicious for snacks or breakfast and the whole family will love them.
How To Make Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffins
Making these muffins is very easy, it only takes 7 ingredients and a few minutes of prep.
Ingredients
- Whole-Wheat Flour – you can use wholewheat flour, classic all-purpose flour, gluten-free flour, or even sunflower seed flour for this recipe, they would all work similarly.
- Coconut Oil – let it melt in the microwave for a few minutes. You can also use rice bran oil or light olive oil if you don’t like the taste of coconut.
- Eggs – I like to use large, free-range eggs as I find that they taste better.
- Bananas – Choose ripe bananas with a few dark spots on the skin. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins!
- Maple Syrup – I prefer to use regular maple syrup for this recipe, but you can also use sugar-free maple syrup to reduce the carbs or coconut nectar.
- Frozen Blueberries – Frozen blueberries are ideal in this recipe as they hold their shape better when cooking.
Making The Healthy Muffins
Add the following ingredients to the bowl of your food processor or into a mixing bowl: flour, coconut oil, eggs, mashed bananas, baking soda, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Process the batter or whisk it with a wooden spoon until it’s well combined and a bit sticky.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl if you just used a food processor and incorporate the blueberries gently with a wooden spoon.
Use a cookie spoon to transfer the muffin batter into a muffin tray lined with lightly oiled muffin cups.
Bake the healthy banana blueberry muffins for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven at 350°F (180°C).
Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and enjoy them still warm
Enjoy this simple and delicious banana blueberry muffin recipe.
Storage Instructions
You can store your healthy banana blueberry muffins for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the pantry or in the fridge for up to a week.
It’s also possible to freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge for a few hours before enjoying.

Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole-wheat Flour
- ¼ cup Coconut Oil melted (or vegetable oil like rice bran or virgin light olive oil)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Bananas mashed with a fork, use the one with black spot on the skin
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ cup Maple Syrup or apple syrup for a lower carb recipe
- ½ cup Frozen Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease a 24-holes mini muffin tray with coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your food processor with the S blade attachment, add all the ingredients in this order whole wheat flour, extra virgin coconut oil, eggs, mashed bananas, baking soda, maple syrup, and vanilla (if desired).
- Blend until combine and smooth. It is ok if you still have bites of bananas it is actually better as it adds lots of moisture to these muffins.
- If you are using a food processor it will not take more than 1 minute to prepare the batter.
- If you used a food processor transfer the batter into a mixing bowl and combine in the frozen blueberries.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tray and bake for 10-15 minutes max or until a chopstick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
- Flip over the tray onto a cooling rack and cool at room temperature before eating.
- You can freeze these whole-wheat banana muffins in zip lock bags and defrost them for 3-4 hours before eating.
- Can be cooked in muffin cups as well. Don’t grease the tray in this case.
- Store in the pantry for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

These turned out great! I was worried they be dry with using only whole wheat flour, but they were not at all. And the use of maple syrup in place of sugar was nice, Yum!
Would you be able to use regular sized muffin tray and just alter the time of cooking?
Of course, you can use a 12 muffin hole pan and increase baking time around 30 minutes at 180C (350F), it will be fine. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
