Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
