My babies helped me making this delicious healthy blueberry date banana yogurt mini muffins (sugar free!), filled with fresh local berries (that we picked the day before ) and sweet pureed dates as a sugar substitute.
It’s officially a blueberry season in the valley and since we live in a town that is surrounded by farms, sure we were the first customers on our local u-pick farm that is just 15 min away!
Kids were exited and we ended up driving home with 10lb fresh blueberries that took us about an hour to pick.
The idea of picking your own berries is wonderful , so we are coming back next week for some cherries too!
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Would love to say thank you to our local Modesto area Ott Farm. You guys are the best!
Healthy blueberry date banana yogurt mini muffins
Ingredients
- 10 large dates
- 1 cup fresh blueberries frozen will work too
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk or any nut milk
- 1 tspn vanilla extract
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tspn baking powder
- 1/2 tspn baking soda
- 1/4 tspn salt
- 1/2 tspn pumpkin pie spice optional
- 1 banana
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray your mini muffin tin with coconut oil spray. Set aside.
- In a food processor combine dates and milk. Let it soak for 15 min, add yogurt and blend until smooth. Pour in to a large bowl
- Add an egg and mashed banana(or you can just cut it really thin). Mix well. Add vanilla
- In another bowl combine all dry ingredients.
- Add all dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing gently. Fold in blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 24 mini muffin cups. You will have bit left, i recommend just to make a couple pancakes with that, while you waiting for your muffins 🙂
- Bake for 18 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for ~5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These were fantastic! I did change the recipe a little - I used 6 dates and two bananas to sweeten, two eggs instead of one. Blended all the wet ingredients with the oats. Used half whole wheat flour and added a little almond extract. Exactly what I was looking for in a healthy muffin recipe! Thanks!

Oh this made my day, thank you! Dates and banana together must have made them so naturally sweet and moist, and almond extract is such a good call. Thanks for sharing your swaps, I bet other readers will want to try your version! 🧡Tatiana

I have chopped dates. With those work, and if so about how much would I use.

I’m so excited to try this recipe! I just started Noom a few days ago. I’m curious how you log this specific recipe on Noom. Do you have to add each ingredient individually and calculate how much of the ingredient is in each muffin? I hope there is an easier way! Thank you again for posting! ❤️

Should these be kept refrigerated?
