These Vegan Blueberry Banana Muffins are a delicious, moist, and naturally sweet treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with ripe bananas and fresh or frozen blueberries, these muffins use whole wheat or all-purpose flour and are free from eggs and dairy, making them a great plant-based option. With a simple mix-and-bake method, they come together quickly and easily in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups of mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
  • ¼ cup of granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup of canola or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 ½ cups of whole wheat or all-purpose flour

Add-ins

  • 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash about 3 ripe medium bananas until smooth.
  3. Mix Batter: Add the granulated sugar, canola or vegetable oil, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour to the mashed bananas. Gently fold everything together until just combined without overmixing.
  4. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the greased muffin cups, filling each cup all the way to the top for full, rounded muffins.
  6. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Using frozen blueberries directly is fine; just fold them in gently to avoid turning the batter purple.
  • Check muffin doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
  • Let muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin to avoid breaking.
