INGREDIENTS

Dry Ingredients: For this muffin mix, you’ll need flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Mix-ins: For these muffins, you’ll mix in mashed bananas and fresh blueberries with an egg and butter.

Crumb Topping: This amazing crumb topping is made with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

STEP ONE: Start by preheating the oven to 370 degrees F and line a 12-count muffin tin with muffin papers. Next, in a large bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

STEP TWO: In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, egg, and melted butter. Continue by adding the banana mixture into the flour mixture. Stir the muffin batter together until it is just moistened and then gently fold in the fresh blueberries.

STEP THREE: To make the crumb topping, combine the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon. Then cut in 1 tablespoon of butter using a fork until you have a crumb mixture.

STEP FOUR: Spoon banana blueberry muffin batter into the muffin papers and sprinkle the brown sugar crumbs evenly over each muffin. Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes or until they pass the clean toothpick test.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• I always use fresh blueberries in this recipe. Make sure to thoroughly wash and dry them before adding them to the batter.
• If you overwork the batter after adding in the berries, they may burst and turn the dough blue.

HOW LONG WILL BANANA BLUEBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS LAST?

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container on your countertop for up to four days. That means you can enjoy fresh muffins the entire weekend or have them on hand for the kids’ breakfast almost the entire school week! Having fresh, homemade muffins on hand to grab and go in the morning makes breakfast in my house so much easier!

CAN YOU FREEZE MUFFINS?

Once fresh homemade muffins have cooled you can freeze them directly on a baking sheet for 2 hours before placing them into an airtight container, like a ziplock freezer bag. To reheat muffins, unwrap the muffins and allow them to thaw at room temperature or place your muffin directly into the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until it has warmed through.
