Servings 12 muffins
Equipment
- Measuring cups, spoons
- 1 Large mixing bowl
- Hand mixer with beaters
- 1 small mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- spoon
- Large spoon/cookie scoop
- Muffin Tin
- Silicone or paper muffin cups
- Cooking spray
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 ½ whole ripe bananas
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup + 2 teaspoons all purpose flour divided
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup oats
- 2-3 Tablespoons turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line muffin pan with silicone muffin cups and spray with cooking spray.
- Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup softened butter to medium mixing bowl. Beat with hand mixer until mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add 1 ½ ripe bananas, 1 egg, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice to batter. Beat until smooth.
- Add 1 cup all purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt. Beat on low and until just barely incorporated.
- If using frozen blueberries, sprinkle 2 teaspoons flour over 1 ½ cup blueberries, and mix until blueberries are coated. This will prevent some bleeding from the blueberries and keep them from all sinking in the mixture.
- Add blueberries and ¾ cup oats to mixture. Carefully fold them into batter with rubber spatula.
- Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, divide batter evenly between 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over each muffin (about 2-3 Tablespoons worth).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Store in airtight container for a couple days, or in freezer bag for months.

Notes
- Use frozen or fresh bananas, but make sure they're brown and very ripe.
- You can use any combination of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour, but 100% whole wheat flour will make your muffins more dense than fluffy.
- You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries in your banana blueberry oatmeal muffins. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in flour before adding to batter.
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, mixed berries.
