- basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
- soft, fluffy, moist muffins that are quick and easy to make.
INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
- butter and eggs should be at room temperature. Remove from the refrigerator ½ hour to 1 hour before starting the recipe.
- Greek yogurt is used in this recipe. Use Greek Yogurt that has some fat content to it. Sour cream may also be substituted.
- I recommend fresh blackberries in this muffin recipe. If using frozen, toss in 1 tbsp. of flour prior to adding to the batter to avoid colour bleeding.
INSTRUCTIONS
This is a straightforward recipe that requires no mixer. It can easily be mixed by hand using a wooden spoon.
Start by greasing 12 muffin tins and preheating the oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. When measuring the flour, give it a good stir first to fluff it up, then measure it out using a spoon into the measuring cup. Use the blade from a knife to level off the flour.
In a different large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter and 1 of the eggs and beat by hand using a wooden spoon until mixture is lemon-coloured.
Add in second egg and stir until combined.
Add in the mashed bananas and Greek Yogurt and stir just until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine with as few strokes as possible. The batter may be a little lumpy - that a okay.
Gently fold in the blackberries.
Spoon batter into greased muffin tins.
Bake in 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes.

Made with the last of the blackberries from my garden and some bananas we needed to use up from the neighbor. I doubled the recipe and got 24 muffins and two mini loafs out of it. They're so good! Freezing the muffins, but I can't stop eating the loaf!

Best banana muffins or bread I have ever made! We just picked up fresh blackberries this morning and had 2 very ripe bananas to put use. So glad I tried this recipe! I had to sub sour cream for the Greek yogurt, but that did not seem to matter. These muffins are truly delicious!

I substituted 1 cup maple syrup for the sugar because I was making them for a group that included a diabetic. They turned out wonderfully, and I'll definitely be doing them again!

These muffins were amazing! Honestly they were the best I have ever made! Super moist and very flavourful. I did cut the sugar to one cup, and they were still plenty sweet. Thank you for sharing this keeper.
