Notes
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. Gently add blueberries during this recipe's last mixing stage; otherwise, you might crush them entirely into your batter, which would not look pretty after baking 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.
