Instructions

1

Mash and mix wet ingredients

In a large bowl mash bananas until completely smooth. Add egg milk and melted coconut oil and whisk together until well combined and no lumpy banana pieces remain.

2

Add dry ingredients

Sift flour and baking powder into the wet mixture and fold gently using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix as this will make the muffins dense and tough.

3

Fold in fruit and fill

Gently fold blueberries into the batter. Spoon mixture into a greased mini muffin tray filling each cup about three quarters full to allow room for rising.
