Banana Blueberry Muffins for kids
I am 31-week pregnant now. It’s funny how time flies when you already have a kid in the house. Emma is growing. She is an amazing social and active 3 1/2 year old little girl. She is a foodie like me. I taught her to bake from the very beginning. I remember our first kitchen time when she was 11 months old. She was sitting on the benchtop playing with the flour making a big mess. She was so determinate to help me from a young age. She still is and now we have great kitchen time together. We talk, we laugh. We kiss, we hug and more than that we are a team and I love it.
She is full of suggestions for every recipe – not always the best food combination – but she makes me proud. I know that she will be a conscious eater when she grows up always picking up the best for her health. That’s all that counts to me. She knows that we don’t buy food but we prepare food from ingredients. Such a precious skill in this world. So this banana blueberry muffin recipe is her creation. We often make mini banana muffins and I shared with you our simple 5-ingredients recipe here.
This weekend we prepared a batch of those muffins when Emma said “mum maybe we should add berries and vanilla in my banana muffins. It will be delicious! “. Well, she said this in French. We don’t talk English together. Mother talk are always in our mother language. But anyway she meant that. So we added 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries and some vanilla extract to our original recipe. We baked some muffins in muffin paper cups and others directly in the tray. I like muffin paper cups to fill Emma lunchbox. It keeps the muffin moist for longer but I reckon this is not great if you intend to freeze them. Look at the inside of these muffins. She was right! Blueberries really make these banana muffins even more delicious !
So this is it. An almost new recipe that I wanted to share simply because I had a great time with my daughter making it on Saturday. I did not take pictures of us baking this time – the one above is from a few months ago. I just don’t feel at my best right now with the pregnancy. Even if I only put on 6 kg during the first 7 months of pregnancy, I feel very tired. Maybe next time I will take some great family shots with Emma, myself and the baby baking all together?
Enjoy this simple and delicious banana blueberry muffin recipe.
Healthy Banana Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil melted (or vegetable oil like rice bran or virgin light olive oil)
- 2 Eggs

- Spoon the batter into the muffin tray and bake for 10-15 minutes max or until a chopstick inserted of the centre of the muffins comes out clean.
