Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 3 medium or 2 large ripe bananas)
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup milk (dairy or nondairy, at room temperature)
  • 1 and 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1 Tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and prepare a muffin pan with nonstick spray or liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas and stir in the brown sugar, honey, melted coconut oil, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
  4. Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients, making sure not to overmix.
  5. Carefully fold in the blueberries to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
  6. Fill the muffin cups to the top with batter and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees F, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best flavor, use very ripe bananas. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week.
