Healthy Blueberry-Lemon Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Blueberry-Lemon Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups a light greasing to ensure your muffins pop out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy mashed bananas with brown sugar, applesauce, a beaten egg, and a splash of lemon extract.

3. Step 3

   Stir everything together until it’s beautifully smooth and well blended.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, and baking soda, letting the aromas mingle.

5. Step 5

   Now, gently fold this dry mixture along with quick-cooking oats into your banana blend, being careful not to overmix—this is the secret to tender muffins! Next, it’s time to add a burst of freshness: fold in the juicy blueberries, making sure they’re evenly spread throughout the batter for delightful bites in every muffin.

6. Step 6

   Spoon the luscious batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow for that lovely rise.

7. Step 7

   Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that they’re perfectly done.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re golden and fragrant, take the muffins out of the pan and let them cool on a wire rack.

9. Step 9

   Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you wait for them to cool completely—your patience will be rewarded with a delicious treat!.
