Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and moist texture.
  • Mash the bananas until they are smooth, with no lumps.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. Overfilling will result in muffins that rise too much and may overflow.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
