Banana Blueberry Muffins with Vanilla Glaze

Banana Blueberry Muffins with Vanilla Glaze have all the moisture of a banana muffin with an extra pop of flavor, thanks to the real blueberries. The vanilla glaze recipe is perfectly sweet. Good luck eating just one!

These muffins are so good. They have the best of both worlds – the sweet and moist banana muffin plus the tenderness of a blueberry muffin. 

The muffin glaze makes it an extra special treat. So special that this batch of moist banana blueberry muffins lasted one afternoon in my house. Normally, a dozen muffins will at least last us to the next day.

Not these banana blueberry muffins. They were too good to resist.

I think part of the reason why these banana muffins are so good is because they are banana blueberry muffins with yogurt. The addition of greek yogurt into these recipes takes these easy moist banana blueberry muffins from good to great.

How to glaze muffins?

If you have never glazed a muffin, you may be wondering how to do it. I’m here to tell you it’s easier than frosting a muffin. Simply take a scoop of the glaze with a spoon and slowly move the spoon back and forth over the muffin at an angle. The beauty of glazing muffins is the beauty is in the mess. You want the vanilla glaze to drip off the sides of your banana blueberry muffins. They say you eat with your eyes first, and a glazed muffin always makes me hungry!
