Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113 g), room temp
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar (135 g)
  • 2 medium banana, very ripe, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup whole milk (75 g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (225 g)
  • granulated sugar or turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tin with paper cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using an electric hand mixer), cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add in mashed banana, egg, and milk. Mix until combined. Scrape down bowl as needed.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to mixing bowl and mix on low speed until there are no longer any dry streaks of flour. Scrape down sides of bowl as needed to ensure thorough mixing.
  • Fold in blueberries until evenly distributed. Divide batter among prepared muffin tin. Generously sprinkle granulated sugar over muffins.
  • Bake for 23-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5 minutes before unmolding. Allow muffins to cool on wire rack. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature. 

Notes

  • Due to the moisture of the blueberries, I suggest storing these in the fridge. Allow to warm to room temperature before serving, or reheat in a microwave or toaster oven.
  • Muffin batter can also be mixed by hand using a sturdy spatula. Ensure butter has softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
