How to Make Blueberry Banana Muffins
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt (or milk) to keep the batter moist.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection

- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Pro Tips for the Best Muffins
🫐 Toss Blueberries in Flour – This prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
🍌 Use Overripe Bananas – The darker, the better for extra sweetness and moisture.
⏳ Don’t Overmix – Stir just until combined to keep muffins light and fluffy.
🧊 Store & Freeze – Keep muffins in an airtight container for 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
