Blueberry and banana muffins FAQ:

How long do I bake the blueberry and banana muffins?

Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

What is the best way to store blueberry and banana muffins?

Can I substitute the olive oil in this muffin recipe?

Yes, you can substitute olive oil with another oil like vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. Just ensure the alternative has a similar consistency.

What pan size do I need for this muffin recipe?

The recipe is designed for a standard 12-cup muffin tin. If you use a mini muffin tin, adjust the baking time as they will bake faster.

How can I prevent the blueberries from sinking in the batter?

To help prevent blueberries from sinking, coat them lightly in flour before folding them into the batter. This helps them stay suspended while baking.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with brown spots for the best results.

- Fold in blueberries gently: To avoid mashing the blueberries, gently fold them into the batter with a spatula. This will help distribute them evenly throughout the muffins.

- Don't overmix the batter: Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in dense muffins.

- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done. If there's batter on the toothpick, bake for a few more minutes and check again.

- Cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove from the pan.
