How to Make These Banana Blueberry Muffins
Step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card below but this should give you a quick overview of how easy they are to make.
- Cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs followed by milk, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder, and then fold in the blueberries and mashed bananas.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and if desired, add a few more blueberries to the top. You can also sprinkle additional sugar over the blueberries for a sweet crust.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the muffins are domed and baked through.
Kitchen Equipment Needed
This blueberry muffin recipe is very simple to make and only needs a few kitchen tools.
- Standard 12-cup muffin tin (I’m using a nonstick muffin tin)
- Mixer (electric or stand mixer) to cream the butter.
- Spatula to fold in the bananas and blueberries
- Muffin liners if using or nonstick cooking spray
- I also like to use a cookie scoop (affiliate link) when transferring batter to the muffin tin. It helps me portion the batter for equal size muffins.
