How to Make 4 ingredient blueberry banana oatmeal muffins
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a muffin pan with parchment paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a silicone spatula until smooth.
- Add the rolled oats and honey or maple syrup to the bowl, and mix well with a wire whisk.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries using a rubber spatula.
- Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin pan using a measuring cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Expert Tips
For the best results, use very ripe bananas—they’re sweeter and mash more easily. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the oats into a flour before mixing. To prevent the blueberries from sinking, toss them in a little flour before folding them into the batter. Lastly, let the muffins cool completely before storing to maintain their texture.

Variations
Try swapping blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different fruity twist. If you’re a chocolate lover, add a handful of dark chocolate chips to the batter. For a nutty flavor, mix in a tablespoon of almond or peanut butter.

Healthier Alternatives
To reduce the sugar content, use unsweetened applesauce instead of honey or maple syrup. You can also replace rolled oats with steel-cut oats for a heartier texture. For added protein, stir in a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
