These delicious and easy-to-make banana blueberry oatmeal muffins are soft, moist and light! It takes only 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to bake!
My banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins are loved by many readers. I decided to make another version of these muffins to make an alternative.
Today I make these muffins with blueberries and bananas. You can make these oatmeal banana blueberry muffins for breakfast or snack. It’s time to use your ripe bananas.
Ingredients you’ll need
You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.
- Bananas–You can use 3 medium ripe or 4 large bananas. It should be 1 and ⅓ cups mashed bananas.
- Blueberries-I use fresh blueberries but if you like to use frozen, you shouldn’t thaw before using.
- Whole wheat flour-It provides structure and makes these muffins on the healthier side.
- Oatmeal-It gives texture and makes a nice combination with whole wheat flour. With the addition of oatmeal, these muffins are very filling.
- Baking powder– It work as a leavener. When I tried the combination of baking soda and baking powder, baking soda changed the color of blueberries.
- Granulated Sugar-I use very little sugar. You can use maple syrup or your choice of sweetener.
- Eggs-They create structure.
- Vanilla and cinnamon– They enrich the flavor.
- Melted butter and milk-They enrich the flavor besides making these muffins moist.
Step by step instructions
First, I place the whole wheat flour, oatmeal, cinnamon and baking powder in a large bowl and stir until combined well. I set aside the bowl.
Then I mash the bananas. You can either use a fork or a pastry cutter.
Next I mix in the sugar, melted butter and milk on top.
Once combined, first I mix in the eggs and then the vanilla extract.
I add the oatmeal mixture over the banana mixture and stir with a whisk.
Once combined, I gently fold the blueberries in two batches. Then I divide the batter into muffin tins that are lined with paper liners and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean that is inserted into the center.
I let them cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes before transferring on a wire rack to completely cool.
Enjoy!
You can keep totally cooled blueberry banana oatmeal muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and up to a week in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.

These muffins are so good. They’re moist and have just enough sweetness. I’ve made them several times now as my husband loves them!!
Kara
Very good! I used old fashioned oats which made them have a more textured feel. Extremely good muffin.
Becky Johnson
Getting ready to make these! What are your thoughts on using frozen blueberries?
Meymi
Hi Becky, If you want to use frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them. Enjoy!
Karin
Delicious!
I love that these aren’t overly sweet and the texture is lovely.
I did add some lemon zest I had on hand, which bumped these up a little. I’ll add some sugar crystals to the top next time.
The only other change I made was cooking for an additional 10 minutes. I think in the future I’ll pop the oven up to 425°then bring it down to 350 after 5 or so minutes.

Hi Karin, I’m so glad you loved these muffins. Thank you for your feedback!
Megan Milligan
Love these so much!! I sub the sugar for maple syrup and I recently had to cut dairy out of my diet , could I substitute milk with almond milk or oat milk?
Meymi
Hi Megan, I’m so happy to hear that you loved these muffins so much! I think it’ll be fine with other milk substitutes. I’d probably use oat milk. Thank you for your feedback!
Megan
Hi, getting ready to make these, I only have all purpose flour, will that work? Thank you, can’t wait to try!
Meymi
Hi Megan, Yes, you can use all purpose flour.

I added an extra tablespoon of milk because I only had 2 bananas, turned out great :))
