Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour, or a mix of both
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 3 medium or 2 large ripe bananas)
- ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark, or coconut sugar)
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted (or vegetable oil/avocado oil)
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup milk (dairy or nondairy), at room temperature
Add-ins
- 1 and ¼ cups blueberries (fresh or frozen, do not thaw)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar optional, for sprinkling on top
Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Once mashed, whisk in the brown sugar, honey/maple syrup, coconut oil, egg, vanilla, and milk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until everything is just combined. Fold in the blueberries. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them all the way to the top.
Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C); then, reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
