Summer is quickly coming to an end. And what better way to savor the season with some late summer berries than baking up these banana blueberry whole wheat muffins! But don’t you worry, this recipe also works well with frozen blueberries if you can’t get your hands on a fresh batch. They may stain your batter a bit, but they will taste just as good.

I love muffins for one great reason, they’re pretty much cupcakes without frosting. And it is completely acceptable to eat them for breakfast, that’s what they’re made for! Not only that, they are a portable and convenient for on-the-go breakfast.
These banana blueberry whole wheat muffins are made with whole wheat flour, yogurt, coconut oil, and a touch of brown sugar. They’re packed with banana and bursting with blueberries. The crunchy streusel topping takes them over the top. However, if you want to stick to 100% whole grain, you can skip the streusel, although not recommended because streusel is awesome!
I’ve been slightly obsessed with coconut oil. I know I’m probably way late on picking up this trendy ingredient. But after we came back from Maui, I bought coconut oil specifically to make these Tropical Pineapple Coconut Dog Treats for my fur babies.
The coconut oil made it smell so amazing! I was determined to use it in a for-human-recipe. However, the stars of this recipe are the banana and the blueberries. So if you don’t normally cook with coconut oil, you don’t have to run out and get a jar just for these muffins. You can substitute it with any other oil you prefer to cook with, in the same amount.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So if you’re bored of that plain oat meal or tired of that green smoothie you’ve been eating for weeks, make these banana blueberry whole wheat muffins and get back into the game!
