Sharing my favorite banana bread muffins today! My Brown Butter Blueberry Banana Bread Muffins will brighten any morning!
Banana Bread Muffins
These brown butter banana bread muffins are out of control delicious. I’ve always loved banana bread and blueberries combined in baked goods, but these muffins take them to a whole new level. What is it with brown butter that makes everything so sinfully delicious?! Yikes. Beware, these are highly addictive….especially with the sweet drizzle. Enjoy!!

Best Ever Banana Bread
Simple line up of ingredients. If you haven’t browned butter before, do not worry. It’s very easy. See my instructions in the recipe below. I used fresh blueberries today, but frozen works too. Easy on the stirring if you are using frozen, they stain your batter purple with too much mixing 🙂
How To Brown Butter
Brown butter in the bowl to start. See my post How To Brown Butter for detailed instructions.
Sugar up next.
2 lovely mashed ripe bananas. About 1 cup.
Vanilla please 🙂
1 lovely egg.
Dry ingredients.
Give a nice little stir.
Add your vibrant blueberries.
This batter is out of control. Salivating already, lol!
Fill em’ up. About 3/4 full….and time to bake!
Time for the icing….LOVE!
Drizzle icing over warm muffins. Note: Icing is optional, they are great by themselves.
Or, maybe the icing is absolutely necessary 🙂
Your choice.
Basically a win win situation. Enjoy!
Tips
- Make your muffins the night before (minus the icing) so you can serve the day of serving.
- Serve your muffins with a nice fruit plate to make a light breakfast.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container either room temperature or chilled in refrigerator.
