• Mash the Bananas-In a large mixing bowl, mash two ripe bananas until smooth. This will add natural sweetness and moisture to the recipe.
• Combine Wet Ingredients -eggs, milk (dairy or plant-based), honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined.
• Whisk In Dry Ingredients -Rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
• Add Blueberries-Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them. This ensures you get juicy bursts of flavor in every bite.
• Fill the Muffin Pan– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top, and add a few extra blueberries on top.
