These muffins are buttery and soft on the inside with big bakery tops. They have that perfect moist but fluffy texture!
It took me three tries to get Banana Blueberry Muffins (or Blueberry Banana Muffins, whichever you prefer) right.
The first time was just an absolutely miserable failure. Although I know it’s the nature of the game when it comes to the creation of baking recipes, it is still annoying, especially since I hate to do things multiple times and I don’t like to waste food or ingredients. They barely rose and were ungodly dense. They got thrown away.
It happens.
I made the second batch at 6 AM one morning when I couldn’t sleep (isn’t that what normal people regularly do?). They were better, but still fell as soon as they came out of the oven. I pulled out a few clumps of hair and tried again.
Luckily, third times a charm! They were moist, but still fluffy, with perfectly domed, golden tops. They made me happy.
For what it’s worth, I think baking them straight in the pan (no liner) makes a difference. They cooked a little faster and had more domed tops on them. Also, I was drowning in muffins by the end of this, so this recipe is for 6 jumbo muffins or 12 regular muffins.
If making regular size muffins, start checking the muffins around 20 minutes or so.
