I don’t really need an excuse to have muffins in the morning but back to school is a pretty good one, don’t you think? I can’t believe summer is just about over! My kids are getting a looooong summer vacation because of our move. They got out just before Memorial Day and go back in Oregon after Labor Day. Stacey’s kids are already back in school and it’s been strange not sending my third grader in with them. I can’t wait to see how school goes for my little monkeys this year in Oregon.
I always have a hard time trying to decide between banana muffins and blueberry muffins so I decided to continue with my love of combining foods and make these banana blueberry crumb muffins. They were exactly what I wanted. The best of both!!! I love crumb toppings on muffins so I always have to have it now when I make muffins. What kid wouldn’t want a nice warm fresh baked muffin before heading off to school? 🙂

I imagine these muffins are quite moist since the recipe calls for bananas as well. Yum!
I think these will be a hit in my house :0)
Thanks for sharing,
Suzanne

They were Suzanne! I hope they are a hit at home, let us know! 🙂
Joey says
Hi, just checking if the temperature is a typo error, cis it’s indicate at 37 degrees?
Aubrey says
Yes Joey, you got it right. I’ve corrected the recipe. Can you imagine how long it would take them to bake? 🙂
Betsy says
This sounds great!
Aubrey says
Thanks Betsy!
Samantha says
I make these today!! Yum.
Samantha says
*Made*
Tanya says
This sounds delicious. Can I confirm if ‘t’ is teaspoon or tablespoon. Sorry for silly question, I’m from Australia and our abbreviations are different. (Or maybe it’s too late in the night for me…)
Thank you, Tanya
Julie E says
Yes, a lowercase t will be teaspoon and an uppercase T will be tablespoon. Thanks!
Veronica says
I made just made those, super easy and delicious!
Dima says
I’m not sure if it’s just the way i baked them but the blueberries went to the bottom of the muffin 🙁 I remember watching an episode of Laura in the Kitchen and she mentioned to always toss the fruit in flour before folding them into the batter but I completely forgot! However, great recipe I will try again!
Meghan says
I made these last night with my 3 year old and he loves them! We subbed half whole wheat flour and one banana for some vanilla greek yogurt. This recipe is a keeper, thanks!
Shafaq Ghufran says
Just tried these delicious babies and took gorgeous photos!
Thank you!! My 1.5 year old loved it the most.
*bear hug*
Kristi says
I made these over the weekend and they are very good! We loved the banana and blueberry combination.
Olivia says
I want to make these as a Christmas gift, they look beautiful! Just to check, what is the measurement of brown sugar? I’m guessing it’s cups but not sure?
Thank you

Nancy Jackson-Bryant says
Delicious! I added pecans and chocolate chips to some and they were incredible. My kids loved them too. I’ll be making them again.
Carrie S says
Just what I was looking for. My kids LOVE them and they have always turned out great for me.
Melissa says
If I only have 2 bananas would I need to substitute something else in?
Kmcn says
These muffins are delicious. The only thing i would change, doubling the topping. So glad I made them.
bre says
I just made these and they turned out amazing. I used 5 very very ripe bananas, I added about 1/8 more flour and made them in mini muffin tins for about 15 minutes and they came out golden brown and wonderful. Super moist and flavorful.
I only put blueberries in half and mini chocolate chips in the other half. They all came out perfect. I love this recipe!!
Karen says
Would baking them at 350° make a big difference?
Jessie Yung says
Just moved into a new house and needed to bake to make it feel like home. I made these today and doubled the batch. Instead of sugar, I used honey because that was at the top of the moving box. Amazing!
Shannon Elliott says
Yummmm??? My family loved them. Definitely a keeper!!
Amber says
Could I use frozen instead? Would I need to thaw them, and toss with flour?
Julie @Real Housemoms says
Hi Amber! You could substitute frozen berries, and yes, you’ll want to toss the in flour still.
Nancy says
I made these muffins this morning. They were moist and very flavorful. Will definitely make these again! My husband really enjoyed them also.
Claudia H. says
Hi there! Just to let you know that I made your muffins a while back and they were delicious! All this to say… I was wondering: if I wanted to put a “veggie twist” on your recipe (so as to get my 18 month old to eat more veggies)… Could I replace 1 cup of blueberries by say 3/4 cup of shredded carrots? Thanks! Claudia 😉
DEDE says
Where it reads to add “sugar”, I’m guessing it was just the white sugar (and not the brown as well)? I’m asking because 3/4 c of brown sugar made a whole lot of topping – almost too much. Was part of the brown sugar supposed to go into the recipe? – and then set aside some for the topping? Thanks!
Julie Kotzbach says
Hi DeDe! You are right, “add sugar” refers to the granulated sugar only. The brown sugar is for the crumb topping – 3/4 cup of brown sugar is definitely a lot, the recipe calls for 1/3 cup brown sugar. 🙂
Sasha says
Baked these today as 6 giant muffins (baking time 35 mins), they were AMAZING!!! Thank you for the recipe!
Aubrey Cota says
I’ve always thought it would be fun to do them Costco sized! I’m so glad you liked it, thanks Sasha.
