Banana Blueberry Muffins
Yield: 12 regular size muffins
Banana Blueberry Muffins combine two classic recipes into one moist, lofty, perfectly sweet muffin package. They're such a treat!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, gently melted and cooled to just slightly warm
- 1½ cups well-mashed banana, from 3 to 4 large, very ripe bananas
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (add more if you like!)
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup small to medium-sized fresh blueberries
- 2 teaspoons coarse sparkling sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. If you don't want to use paper liners, lightly spray the muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, sugar, and egg. Then stir in the melted and cooled butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and fold to incorporate.
- Fold about 2/3 of the blueberries into the batter. Then divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, leaving a scant amount of batter in the bowl. Add the remaining blueberries to the bowl and fold gently to lightly coat the berries with batter. Then add these blueberries to the top of the muffins, poking them into the batter a bit.
- Sprinkle muffins with sparkling sugar.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until nicely golden at the edges and just set in the center. Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer individual muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.
