Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 2 teaspoons Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the milk until the wet mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.

Step 7

Fold the blueberries into the batter gently to avoid bursting them.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a pinch of turbinado sugar for a crunchy topping.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
