πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ How to Make It (Step-by-step)

βœ”οΈ Step 1: Mash the banana
Use a fork to mash 1 ripe banana in a medium bowl until mostly smooth.
πŸ’‘ Ripe bananas are sweeter and give a better texture – go for spotty ones!

βœ”οΈ Step 2: Add egg and wet ingredients
Crack in 1 egg, then add 3 tbsp low-fat plain yogurt. Mix until combined.
πŸ’‘ Room temperature yogurt blends more smoothly – give it a few minutes out of the fridge!

βœ”οΈ Step 3: Stir in dry ingredients
Add Β½ cup rolled oats and 2 tbsp almond flour. Mix well.
πŸ’‘ Let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes so the oats begin to absorb moisture.

βœ”οΈ Step 4: Fold in blueberries
Gently fold in Β½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
πŸ’‘ If using frozen, toss in a tsp of almond flour first to prevent colour bleeding!

βœ”οΈ Step 5: Grease the muffin tin
Lightly grease 4 muffin cups with butter.
πŸ’‘ Use a paper towel for even buttering and no waste!

βœ”οΈ Step 6: Fill the muffin cups
Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin cups.
πŸ’‘ An ice cream scoop helps get even sizes and less mess!

βœ”οΈ Step 7: Bake to golden perfection
Bake at 180Β°C (350Β°F) for 20 minutes, or until golden and set.
πŸ’‘ Insert a toothpick – if it comes out clean, they’re ready!

βœ”οΈ Step 8: Let them rest
Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
πŸ’‘ They firm up as they cool – don’t rush the magic.

βœ”οΈ Step 9: Remove & enjoy warm
Gently lift the muffins out and enjoy while warm.
πŸ’‘ Pair with tea, coffee or a dollop of yogurt on top!

βœ”οΈ Step 10: Store or freeze
Cool completely before storing in an airtight container or freezing.
πŸ’‘ Wrap each in baking paper before freezing for easy grab-and-go!
