I love that all the sweetness in these banana blueberry muffins comes from well, the fruit! Make sure that the bananas are nice and ripe so they are extra sweet, but also easy to mash and combine with the other ingredients. Fresh blueberries will hold their shape better, but frozen are fine too. I used a combination of both this time!
The oats in these make them that little bit more filling, making them perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast option when you’re in a huge hurry. They’re also excellent warmed up and served with some butter or honey – whatever takes your fancy!
