There is something strangely comforting about the scent of baked bananas, warm blueberry muffins and a mug of coffee on a cold day.
I had a maniacal obsession with perfecting this recipe. 5 batches of muffins and one getting-over-muffins-boyfriend later, I think I am finally happy with it.
These muffins are moist, fluffy and perfectly comforting. The combination of sweet over-ripe bananas, oozing blueberries and crunchy walnuts make for the perfect teatime snack!
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (approximately 4 medium bananas)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk (your choice of almond, cashew or cow’s)

- 1 cup oat flour or oats (blended into flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180C.

- Whisk bananas, egg, milk, coconut oil and honey in a separate bowl.

- Fill up muffin cases (I usually put ½ a cup of batter per case).
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
