How to Make The Best Blueberry Banana Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries.
  8. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  9. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with granulated sugar (optional).
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy! Leftover batter can be frozen for later use.
