Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 16 minutes Total Time: 28 minutes Servings: 12 regular-sized muffins or 24 mini muffins

Ingredients:

• 3 very ripe bananas
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter (slightly cooled)
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan, ensuring your muffins won’t stick and will pop out with ease.
2. Mingle the Marvelous Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, bring together the stars of this baking show – very ripe bananas, a large egg, melted coconut oil or butter (slightly cooled), milk (choose between dairy or non-dairy), and a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Stir well but gently, ensuring a uniform mixture. If you spot streaks of oil, keep stirring until your batter showcases a consistent color.
3. Flourish with Goodness: Add whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda to your bowl of liquid marvels. Gently stir the batter to incorporate these elements into a harmonious blend. The aroma is already inviting!
4. Berry Bliss: Gently fold in the vibrant blueberries, adding bursts of flavor and colour to your muffin mix.
5. Divide and Conquer: Divide your lovingly crafted batter among the cups of your prepared muffin pan. Each portion promises a mouthful of goodness.
6. Bake to Perfection: Slide your muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 14-16 minutes. To check if they’re ready, insert a cake tester into the center – it should come out clean and crumb-free.
7. Cool and Savor: Once out of the oven, let your Banana Blueberry Muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
