Banana, Blueberry, and Lemon Muffins
I had a few very ripe bananas to use up, so I searched for a fun new recipe to bake. I found this recipe for banana, blueberry, and lemon muffins on Dragon’s Kitchen and couldn’t resist making them. They were a huge hit with everyone, especially my kids. My son and I had a great time baking these muffins together, and he had an even better time devouring them. I will be making these homemade muffins again and again.

This is by far the best website for cooking that I’ve seen yet. The recipes are always good and the instructions are always written in a way that most everybody can understand and accomplish. Good Job!! Thanks!
Is it 2/3 cups of brown sugar
A. Lasiy,
Yes, it’s 2/3 cup of brown sugar. Thanks for letting me know about the error. I have corrected the recipe.

Was looking for a banana bread/muffin recipe that I could also use an excess of lemons and blueberries..perfect recipe. The recipe left me with more batter than the 12 muffins I planned for, so I used the extra in a mini-loaf pan. Baked for 25min, started at 20min then added, and perfectly baked! I love that this is not too sweet. I sprinkled the tops with turbinado sugar with lemon zest.
Karen,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe and even got an extra mini loaf out of it! Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

Haven’t made them yet but they have just the right ingredients. Super excited too make them!
This is a great recipe and very flavorful. The only thing I changed was the temperature and the amount of Of Time cooked. I turned the time down to 350 for 20 minutes and they came out perfect.
Berries were soupy at bottom of muffins , a lot of liquid. Not very good. Maybe tossing berries in flour or something should’ve been a step.
