Blueberry and banana muffins for Christmas Eve breakfast and, of course, not just for that: they’re also great for tomorrow morning with a coffee on the side. The difference is also made by the flower-shaped mold, a rose. You can use another mold, one of your choice, spherical, flower-shaped, or simply paper cups as we find them in stores. The market today offers so many that you’re spoiled for choice.

  • Difficulty: Very Easy
  • Cost: Economical
  • Preparation time: 20 Minutes
  • Portions: 12 Pieces
  • Cooking methods: Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All Seasons, Spring, Summer, and Autumn

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 80 ml peanut oil
  • 1 fruit yogurt (I used lemon)
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup cup sugar
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup cup blueberries
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar

Tools

  • Stand Mixer
  • Muffin Pan
  • Spatula

Steps

  • In the stand mixer, I put the sugar with the eggs. Meanwhile, I peeled the banana and cut it into pieces.

  • If you don’t want to use the stand mixer, an electric whisk works just fine to prepare the muffins.

  • I whipped the eggs with sugar until they became frothy.

  • I added the flour with the baking powder, alternated the yogurt with the oil, and lastly, the banana pieces.

  • I stir with the spatula and gently add the blueberries.

  • I lightly spray the non-stick spray in the silicone molds and pour the batter without filling them completely.

  • Meanwhile, I preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C), and once it reaches the temperature, I bake the muffins for 25 minutes.

  • And here they are, ready and perfectly baked.

  • I wait for the mold to cool slightly to remove the blueberry and banana muffins.

  • I dust with powdered sugar.

  • Blueberry and banana muffins are delicious for breakfast.

  • If you like, you can replace the banana with pear pieces.

I would also recommend the blueberry pound cake, really special. Here’s my easy and quick recipe.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
