These Banana Blueberry Muffins are one of our favorites for a quick and easy breakfast. They combine two favorites in one delicious muffin that my kids go CRAZY for!
So. Today is not just any ordinary Thursday. No, it’s a special day for us around here…..a day that we’ve been thinking about for weeks and counting down since the weekend. (Drumroll, please.) Today is the day we go to the Kalahari!!! Are you jumping up and down for joy? Are you cheering with excitement at your computer? No??? I don’t blame you. Because even though we’ve been to waterparks a thousand times, and even though we keep going back, I wouldn’t exactly say I *love* them.
4 days spent with 4 kids in 1 hotel room? Countless hours spent in my swimsuit with hundreds of strangers? Trekking back and forth between the pool and the room, dripping wet and shivering cold? Not exactly the most fun things I could imagine. Ahh, the things we do for our kids. All I can say is it’s a good thing I like them.
Of course, waterpark adventures aren’t ALL bad. In fact, the truth is I’m actually looking forward to our little getaway! Because even though it involves swimsuits and wetness, it also involves family time, fun, and maybe even a little relaxation. We’ll play some games, we’ll watch some movies, we’ll lounge in our jammies, and, of course, we’ll eat our way through the next 4 days. Starting with these delicious Banana Blueberry Muffins.
Banana Blueberry Muffins – a delicious snack
Yes, I made these muffins specifically for our getaway….plus a few extras for right away. And I have to say – the minute we bit into them, we were in love. These Banana Blueberry Muffins are packed with banana flavor, bursting with blueberries, and topped with a delicious streusel. And that doesn’t even cover the glaze. From start to finish, Banana Blueberry Muffins are sure to become a new family favorite. At home OR at the waterpark!

Haha – so true Michelle! 😉
Those look perfect, blueberry muffins have always been one of my all-time favorites!
These might be the best muffins I ever made…and I make a lot of muffins!!! Excellent!!
Thank you so much 🙂
A few years ago we went to Disney Orlando and one of my favorite things was to walk with my family to a bakery that was near our hotel as our last activity for the night. One of their muffins easily fed all four of us for $3.00. Years even earlier I bought myself a giant muffin tin after visiting Bush Gardens, Williamsburg, VA. They also has massive muffins!!
I could eat these anytime of the day!
When I first read “Kalahari”, I though you meant the actual Kalahari Desert in Africa and I was really excited for you. Waterpark – maybe not as excited. 🙂 I hope you had a good time. As for these muffins, they would be perfect for a treat at weekend brunch!
HA! Yes….the Kalahari Desert would have been so very much more exciting. We did manage to have fun at the waterpark, lol 😉
These look scrumptious- a must make! Hope you had a good getaway and lots of memories made. I’m not a waterpark fan either but I love that you went anyway!
How many muffins will this recipe make?
Approximately 24 muffins 🙂
Um, that topping looks absolutely out of this world, Cathy!
I made these last night. UNBELIEVABLE! They were so delicious. I have bookmarked this page and will absolutely be making them again! 🙂 Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed them, Nancy!
I just saw the glaze.. What is that?? I’m making these now and I don’t have that.. Can I make it??? HELP!!!

Oh bless you for sharing! I made these muffins yesterday morning and they were a hit! Every one loved them so much I’m in the kitchen making more to have ready for breakfast in the morning. This is the best of both worlds bananas and blueberries. This recipe is a keeper.
I’m so glad you all enjoyed them!
Just made these they are really good and very moist
Glad you enjoyed them, Natalie!
Can we store them in freezer. If so, how can we store.
Yes, these muffins freeze well. Simply wrap them in foil or freezer wrap, then seal them in a plastic freezer bag.
These look delicuous.
Would I be able to line the cupcake pan with cupcake liners instead of greasing the pan?

Hi Cathy, These muffins have been a great addition to the kids and Dads lunch box. All have great reviews on mums cooking. Lol Thanks for a great recipe.
I’m so happy everyone is enjoying them! Thanks so much for the feedback, Cathy!
Where does the powdered sugar go? I ended up just using granulated sugar and not the powdered sugar. And where can I get the glaze? Thanks!
Sorry if the recipe was unclear! The powdered sugar and milk are combined to make the glaze.
I baked these muffins last night. They are so good! I will be making them again!! Thanks!!
So glad you enjoyed them, Karen!
I must be generous with my portions. I got 18 muffins. They were gone overnight. I think a muffin monster came. Thank you for this recipe! They were a hit! 🙂
Ha! I’m so glad to hear they were a hit…and you better take care of that muffin monster! 😉
These looked so good but I didn’t want to do muffins, just a bread. So, I put the batter in an 8″ square pan. It’s in the oven now. I would imagine the baking time will be longer though. Wish me luck ????

Is there a diabetic version of this recipe? Looks amazing
Do you have nutrition facts on these?
Could you substitute the canola oil & use applesauce instead??
Made these yesterday and they are awesome! I skipped the icing drizzle because they are already sweet enough. It didn’t make 24 muffins for me; I used a 12 muffin pan and made about 10 mini muffins in another pan.
Is there a substitute that can be used for the sour cream? Hurry, I’m hoping to make these tonight?
Try adding some fresh lemon zest! It is FANTASTIC…
I would like the reciepe for lemon tree dwellig breakfast muffins, please

Can I use self rising flour and if so what do I omit?
I’ve never tried them with self-rising flour, but if you want to try it I would omit the baking powder and salt.
Nice ilove it BANANA BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
hmm ilove it
Los ame…también tengo cuatro hijos…en este momento los estoy horneado…muchas gracias por tu deliciosa receta…
Do you use regular yellow bananas or ripe brown bananas like when making banana bread?
Followed the recipe but prepared as coffee cake with toasted pecans in streusel topping. Delicious
I made these as mini muffins for my kids last night, and they’re inhaling them for breaking ask type!! I may have popped a few into my mouth too. ????
Great recipe! I’ll make them again!
These are seriously delish! And my husband always asks me to make them now. We have been making since last year. Thanks for sharing such a delicious recipe!
Awesome!!
I followed the recipe exactly. I used liners in my muffin tin because I thought it would be easier. These muffins did not rise, and they stuck to the paper in the tin and they did not taste good
Sorry to hear that… I’ve made them multiple times and they’ve always turned out great. Did you add a tablespoon of baking powder? Hard to believe they wouldn’t rise…
Cathy,
These muffins are so so so so yummy, I cannot keep them in my kitchen longer then 2 hours and they are all gone. I did not even get to try one. I guess thats a good enough reason to make some more!!!!!! Thanks for such a great recipe.
