These whole wheat muffins are delicious and satisfying, making them the perfect grab-and-go breakfast, snack, or treat! They’re moist and flavorful, made with whole wheat flour, ripe bananas, creamy yogurt, and sweet blueberries. It’s also super easy to customize the flavors and make them your own!
Sweetened naturally with ripe bananas and juicy blueberries, these whole wheat muffins are one of my favorite simple bakes. They come together easily, bake up tender and satisfying, and have just the right balance of cozy and fresh. They’re the kind of muffins I love having on hand for busy mornings when I want something grab-and-go that still feels homemade.
Whole wheat flour gives these muffins a slightly denser texture and a subtle nutty flavor, while mashed banana keeps them moist and naturally sweet. Greek yogurt and an egg add richness and structure, blueberries burst into little pockets of sweetness, and a touch of maple syrup rounds everything out. Finished with a light sprinkle of sugar or cinnamon sugar on top, they’re simple, comforting, and exactly the kind of muffin you’ll reach for again and again.
