Do You Love This Recipe Too?
I have to tell you why I’m so crazy about these. A few years back, I was in a major breakfast rut. I needed something fast, healthy, and that actually tasted amazing. I tried so many recipes that were just… blah.
Then, I whipped up this version. The first bite was pure magic. My husband did a little happy dance. My kids actually asked for more. That was it. This recipe became our family’s weekly tradition. It’s the taste of a really good morning. For another family favorite, especially with little ones, these Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are always a hit.
My Shopping List for This Recipe
I keep these staples on hand always! The star players are simple, wholesome, and pack a huge flavor punch. Let’s break it down.
Let’s Get Your Ingredients Ready
Gather everything on your counter. Trust me, this comes together so fast! Here’s your full list:
- 3 large, very ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen!)
Bringing This Recipe to Life (Step-by-Step)
This is the fun part! No fancy mixer needed. Just a blender, a bowl, and all your good vibes. Let’s do this.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners. This is key for no-stick perfection!
- In your blender, combine the ripe bananas, eggs, maple syrup, melted oil, and vanilla. Blend on high until it’s completely smooth and creamy. This is your liquid gold!
- Add all the rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt right into the blender with the wet mix. Pulse the blender several times until the oats are broken down but you still see some texture. You’re making oat flour right in the blender! How cool is that?
- Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in those beautiful blueberries. Be gentle so they don’t all burst and turn the batter purple.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. They will be quite full, and that’s perfect for a nice, domed top.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center (avoiding a blueberry) comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack. Try to wait at least 10 minutes before you dive in. I know, it’s hard!
Fun Variations to Try Next Time

Nutrition Information
Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for a fantastic crunch. So good for heart health!
Stir in a big spoonful of lemon zest with the blueberries. The lemon and blueberry combo is absolutely legendary.
How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat
Meal prep heroes, this is for you! These muffins are freezer champions.
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze, wrap each cooled muffin individually in plastic wrap. Toss them all in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months!
Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, or thaw overnight in the fridge. A quick 5-minute warm-up in the toaster oven makes them taste freshly baked.

A Quick Q&A on This Recipe
Can I use a different flour?
I really don’t recommend it for this one! The magic is in the blended oats. They create the perfect texture and keep these muffins wonderfully moist. Stick with the oats—you’ll love it.
My bananas aren’t ripe. Help!
No problem! Place unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet. Bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes, until the skins are black. Let them cool, and you’ve got perfect, sweet, mushy banana goodness ready for action.
Can I make these into mini muffins?
Yes! Absolutely. Just reduce the bake time to about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them. They are adorable and dangerously easy to pop in your mouth!
There you have it! My absolute pride and joy. These muffins are my little weekly act of self-care. They make healthy eating feel like a total celebration. I hope you love this blueberry version as much as we love our irresistible peanut butter banana muffins.
I am so excited for you to try them. Your kitchen is about to smell incredible, and your future self will thank you for the amazing, ready-to-go snacks. Now go blend those oats and get baking!
