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.

Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
