Ever since we made the recipe for Healthier Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, we have been sort of muffin-obsessed. And you know what, I am completely fine with this.

Both of these recipes, including these Healthier Banana Blueberry Muffins, are made with whole grains, honey, flax seeds, bananas, and fresh fruit. There isn’t one ingredient where I feel like I wouldn’t want them to have it for a snack.

And while these are supposed to be a morning delight. My kids take these for their mid-morning or after-school snack.

My son, Cannon, loves blueberries. He would much rather eat fresh blueberries over anything else, but my other kids are not the same way. They would rather have blueberries in something, like these banana blueberry muffins. 

The batter of these muffins is so delicious. I was more than happy to lick the bowl clean. Not only are these muffins delicious, but they are gorgeous as well.

What is great about this banana blueberry muffin recipe is that I actually prefer it over an overly sweet, sugared-up muffin.

Sandra’s Tips

  • These banana blueberry muffins are made with yogurtย and honey, which are easy and delicious ways to replace butter, fatty oils, and white sugar.
  • I prefer Greek yogurt but will use sour cream if I don’t have yogurt. Using one of these two ingredients makes these muffins moist and fluffy. Even though I use whole wheat flour, this is not a dense muffin.
