Instructions

Preheat your oven and line four sections of a muffin tin with paper liners. Then, follow the simple steps below to ensure your banana blueberry oatmeal muffins turn out perfectly every time.

Variations

Here are a few ways to change up the oatmeal muffin recipe depending on your preferences:

• Use gluten-free flour. If you are trying to cut down on gluten, you can use oat flour or almond flour instead of all-purpose flour in these blueberry banana muffins.
• Add nuts to the muffin batter. Chopped walnuts or pecans can be added for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
• Swap out the blueberries for other fruits like raspberries or strawberries.
• Add a streusel topping made with flour and brown sugar like the one used for our regular small-batch blueberry muffins.
• Consider adding chocolate chips or drizzling honey on top before serving. This gives a sweeter twist to the muffins,
• Experiment with various spices like nutmeg or cardamom to give your muffins an extra kick of flavor.
• Make a blueberry banana bread by diving the batter into mini loaf pans.

Tips

• Use ripe bananas. A critical mistake that people make when making oat banana blueberry muffins is using unripe bananas. Unripe bananas lack the natural sweetness required to make these muffins tasty, and the texture will be off. Ensure your bananas have brown spots before mashing them up.
• Don't over-mix. If you want fluffy oat banana blueberry muffins, over-mixing can ruin everything. Mix enough until all dry ingredients are moistened, about 20-30 seconds! Over-mixing will cause gluten development and result in tough, dense muffins no one wants to eat.
• Add blueberries last. Always add blueberries during the last mixing stage of this recipe gently; otherwise, you might end up crushing them entirely into your batter, which would not look pretty after they've baked in the oven!
• Let your muffins cool down. Allow your blueberry banana muffins to cool for 10 minutes before serving. This allows time to set so they don't fall apart easily when removed from their cups.

Serving suggestions

These muffins can be served warm for breakfast with butter, whipped cream, or butter-flavored coconut oil. Alternatively, they can be enjoyed as an afternoon snack alongside a cup of tea or coffee.

You could also serve these muffins with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a more indulgent treat. This adds a touch of sweetness that complements the natural flavors of the bananas and blueberries.

There are so many creative ways to customize each serving. You could add some chopped nuts or seeds to the top of each muffin for added crunch. Or, serve them alongside some savory toppings like avocado slices or smoked salmon for a unique twist.

Storage

You can store the blueberry banana oatmeal muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. This will keep them fresh and delicious for up to four days. If you plan on keeping the muffins longer than that, it’s best to store them in the refrigerator. When kept in a sealed container, they can stay fresh for up to one week.

To freeze these muffins, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to three months when frozen properly. When ready to eat, simply thaw the muffin at room temperature or warm it up in the oven or microwave.
