We went blueberry picking in July at a local U Pick Farm. We had fun picking blueberries and even ran into old neighbors, but boy was it hot out. S did a great job picking and trying to fill up her own container. However, after about 5 pounds of blueberries S was done.
With so many blueberries that needed to be used, I had to find or come up with some recipes! After enjoying our Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips previously, I wanted to try the same recipe with blueberries (minus the chocolate chips).
We loved these Blueberry Banana Bread Muffins. S seriously munched them down. They are perfect for breakfast, a snack or a healthy dessert. Throw one in the kids lunch box or take one to work with you.
Side note: I am in love with these parchment cupcake liners. Your muffin/cupcake does not stick to the liner, so perfect muffins/cupcakes every time.
I hope you’ll try this recipe. Enjoy!
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 1/2 cups very ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup of blueberries tossed in flour
- Blend butter and sugar together. Then add in the eggs and bananas. Add in the flour and baking soda.
- Toss blueberries in flour and then fold in blueberries into batter
- Place cupcake liners in the pan and fill the liners 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake at 350* for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Blueberries are way up on the list of my fave berries. My brother-in-law has a blueberry orchard and I freeze lots of berries to have year round. Your recipe looks so tasty!

That’s so cool! Next year I am picking even more. We ended up going through the blueberries faster than I expected.

May I say “YES” to a warm blueberry muffin and a tall glass of milk. I was first introduced to blueberry muffins during college and have been in love since.
I’ve never picked fruit before. It’s time that I try it.
mybigfathappylife says
These are so yummy hot out of the oven, but they are good the next day too. You should totally go picking sometime, it’s fun!
Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom says
I have never been blueberry picking, but I would like to take the kids sometime. Those blueberry banana bread muffins look delicious with all of those big blueberries in them! Yum! The chocolate chip version sounds yummy, too!!

Elaina Newton says
Yum! I LOVE blueberry muffins. Have you ever tried applesauce or pumpkin puree in muffins? I don’t mind butter, but those two substitutions make them extra moist. 🙂
mybigfathappylife says
I’ll have to give them a try Elaina, thank you for the tip!
Lisa/SyncopatedMama says
I just finished up the last of my own blueberry baking after this past season’s picking trip. I hadn’t thought about combining them with banana bread – I’ll have to remember to try it out when next year’s season opens!

The blueberries in the banana bread is wonderful!

Yummy! I love blueberries. We helped plant 2500 blueberry and blackberry plants in SE Oklahoma this spring. This past summer we got to pick blackberries. I can’t wait until next year when the blueberries and even more blackberries will be ripe! Pinned your post on my recipes board.

These look really good. We have had years with LOTS of blueberries… but that hasn’t happened for the last few years….. I miss the bags and bags of blueberries in the freezer. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this.
