Banana Blueberry Muffins Recipe

A traditional muffin may not look impressive but turn it into a miniature dessert and it becomes a treat worthy of entertaining.  It has all the delicious tastes of two of my favorite muffin desserts in one miniature dessert treat. 

Not only do muffins make a nice dessert, but they can also be part of a healthy breakfast. With these miniature muffins, portion control is simply a matter of enjoying one and not three.

Typically, today’s muffins are much larger than what we really need. Have a scrambled egg, a lean protein, and one miniature muffin and you are all set to start your day.

I found this Banana Blueberry Muffin recipe in the cookbook Petite Treats by Christy Beaver and Morgan Greenseth and reprinted with permission.

Other berries for mini muffins desserts

If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed. Make sure that you drain them well before adding them.

You could also substitute chopped strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even dried cranberries if you want to. I like adding fresh fruit rather than dried because the sugar content is lower.

Pro Tip:

Of course, you’ll need to have a miniature muffin pan to make these muffins. I find that the silicone muffin pans work wonderfully.

The muffins don’t stick and there is no need to buy mini liners or scrub a muffin pan when you’re done baking.

If you’re looking for a dessert to serve when you have holiday guests that are a step above what you generally make, this Banana Blueberry Muffin recipe produces muffins that are not only delicious but adorable!  

Miniature desserts are just what you need to make your holiday entertaining a definite success. Enjoy this Banana Blueberry Muffins recipe with yogurt for a healthy snack.

Banana blueberry muffins no suagr

If you want to make banana blueberry mini muffins with no sugar, you can try using a one-to-one sugar replacement like Truvia Baking or Swerve. I haven’t tried it with this recipe but it should work fine.

You can also make these easy banana and blueberry muffins for your toddler since they are a smaller size. They are much easier for tiny hands to hold.
