I love starting my mornings with a pastry, so I typically like to meal prep a breakfast pastry to grab and go during the week. This week, at my fiancé Peter's request, I made blueberry muffins. To make sure I stayed full and was ready for the day, I added some protein powder. The texture is fluffy and delightful and the wild blueberries are a sensational burst of color and sweet tartness. These muffins aren't overly sweet, so if you want more of a sweet breakfast, try adding in more maple syrup and using extremely ripe bananas!
Nutrition of Wild Blueberries
Wild blueberries are packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give them their vibrant color. They are also rich in fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K, supporting immune function, brain health, and heart health.
Superrrrr Ripe Bananas
The secret to the natural sweetness of these muffins lies in the use of super ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter it is, allowing this recipe to shine without the need for refined sugars. Instead, a touch of maple syrup is all that's needed to enhance the flavors, ensuring these muffins are a treat you can feel good about indulging in.
Meal Prep Muffins
Having a meal prep grab and go breakfast is a game changer for my week. Being able to keep these for up to 5-6 days allows me to prep them on Sunday night and have 1 (or 2!) for breakfast each morning. They pair super well with some fresh fruit.
Storage
These blueberry muffins are perfect for prepping ahead of time. All you need to do when you'd like to reheat them is zap them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.
For storage, I keep them in a airtight container on the countertop for the first 2-3 days then move them into the fridge for another 2-3 days. These muffins will last about 5 days.
