    • Easy Chicken Dinner Recipes -->This collection of easy chicken dinner recipes features some of our favorite family dishes, perfect for making a healthy, delicious home cooked meal on a busy night! Getting a healthy, home cooked meal on the table every night can be challenging. Particularly with the demands of work, school, activities and social obligations, well, it can be the last thing we want to do at the end of the day. So I’ve got tons of easy chicken recipes at my disposal that I turn to when I need to whip something up for us on one of those busy weeknights. (Or even busy weekends – dinners can be tough then, too!) And this collection of easy chicken dinner recipes has some that we make over and over again.

      • Easy Chicken Recipes with Few IngredientsThese easy chicken recipes with few ingredients include some great healthy lunch and dinner options, all made with 5 or fewer ingredients! I am all about the EASY when it comes to cooking. I don’t like to fuss much over my food and I certainly don’t like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen at the end of a long day. Easy chicken dinner recipes and healthy lunch recipes with chicken are much more my style. (As are chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, faster yet, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Cause life.) Speaking of life, a million trips to the grocery store also aren’t fun during a busy week. (Especially with little ones in tow!) So I’ve got these go-to easy chicken recipes with few ingredients that help me keep dinnertime simple. And my sanity intact. In fact, one of the first cookbooks I bought on my own, at a used bookstore in Washington, D.C., where I lived for a few years after college, was titled 3-ingredient recipes. I was pretty new to cooking and thought, I think I can handle that. My cooking skills have improved, but I still go for the simple chicken recipes…
      • Quick Chicken RecipesThis collection of quick chicken recipes features some of our favorite family dinners and go-to lunches, all ready in 30 minutes or less! From chicken skillet dinners to one-pot pastas, salads to burgers, you’re sure to find some new favorites! If you know me, you know I am ALL about the quick and easy recipes. I love making all of our homemade meals and home cooked dinners, but like you, I’ve also got a hundred other things to juggle and so keeping things simple in the kitchen is a must. And these quick chicken recipes include all of my chicken recipes in under 30 minutes and, even faster, chicken recipes in under 15 minutes. Sanity savers for sure. Busy weeknights have nothing on us! A few of our favorites from these quick chicken recipes: Healthy chicken Alfredo with broccoli Creamy chipotle chicken 20-minute chicken and tortellini soup with kale Skillet salsa chicken Easy creamy chicken This collection also has some healthy lunch recipes with chicken for mixing up your lunch routine. (It doesn’t include my slow cooker chicken recipes though, since those aren’t ready in 30 minutes. But they can be super quick to prep in the morning and then…
        • Chicken Recipes in Under 15 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 15 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight!

        • Chicken Recipes in Under 30 MinutesThese easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes are perfect for dinner on a busy weeknight! From one-pan meals to burgers, one-pot pastas to healthy salads, you’re sure to find some new favorites! Quick, easy and mostly healthy is pretty much the name of the game for dinner at my house. I love a home cooked meal and we eat a ton of chicken, which means I’ve come up with and found a lot of easy chicken recipes over the years. And this collection highlights some of my easy chicken recipes in under 30 minutes, when you want something delicious but need it on the table pretty quickly. Is that every single night for you too? We’ve got everything from skillet chicken dishes to chicken pasta and from soups and salads with chicken to chicken meatballs and burgers. All the chicken love! Many of these recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts (though you could substitute chicken thighs if you prefer) while others use ground chicken and some rely on pre-cooked chicken, such as a rotisserie chicken you pick up at the store or some leftover grilled or baked chicken. Lots of these 30 minute chicken dinners are complete meals but…
      • Healthy One-Pot Chicken DinnersHealthy one-pot chicken dinners are such a help on busy days! This collection includes everything from one-pot pastas and skillets to easy slow cooker and sheet pan recipes to help you get an easy, healthy and delicious dinner on the table any night! I am ALL about quick and easy meals. I cook our dinner 99% of the time, including on days when work has blown up in my face, or the kids have decided to coordinate their melt-downs, or we’re all just wiped out and hungry. And even though I love to cook, I definitely have those days when I’m just not feeling it. Enter some quick and easy one-pot chicken dinners for the win! These are great to have in your back pocket for busy days, busy weeks or in case of a “kids-are-making-me-crazy” kinda moment. (My husband also loves these meals because he’s on clean-up duty and it’s nice not to have a huge pile of dishes staring you down after dinner!) Many of these dishes are complete meals on their own. Others are low-carb as written, but can easily be paired with some rice, pasta, bread or potatoes to bulk them up a bit. Here are…
      • Slow Cooker Chicken RecipesThese hands-off slow cooker chicken recipes will put your slow cooker to work and have you coming home to a delicious, healthy dinner that’s ready to go! Some days, you just need someone else to make you dinner. I’m not talking takeout or delivery or a restaurant dinner. I’m talking about your crock pot or slow cooker. I find it supremely satisfying to go about my day, knowing that a delicious home cooked dinner is cooking up at home for me. I can play with the kids, take them to practices, run errands or just relax with a book and breathe easy. These slow cooker chicken recipes mean there is just one less thing to do in the evening and that’s a great thing on a busy day! This collection includes slow cooker recipes for boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as chicken thighs (though you can usually sub either one). And many of these take just minutes to prep in the morning! 👍 Here’s a few of our favorite slow cooker chicken recipes: Slow cooker balsamic chicken Slow cooker bistro chicken thighs Slow cooker apricot chicken Crock pot Mediterranean chicken Slow cooker teriyaki chicken And be sure to check…
    • Easy Vegetarian RecipesEasy vegetarian recipes include main-dish meals that are hearty and satisfying and can stand alone for lunch or dinner (with a few savory breakfast options as well). Everything from one-pot veggie pastas to stuffed squash to chili to veggie burgers and hearty grain bowls and salads, there are meatless options here for everyone! I am a veggie lover through and through. 💚💚💚 I adore getting in as many vegetables as I can, throughout the day really, and I often make easy vegetarian dinners a couple of times a week. (Hello meatless Monday, I’m looking at you!) So over the years, I’ve created tons of great veggie-based meals that can stand on their own for lunch or dinner and be hearty and satisfying. And that are also mostly quick and easy, because I work as a health and nutrition editor and we’ve got a busy family so cooking on a weeknight needs to be low-key. My one-pot vegetarian spaghetti has been a hugely popular recipe here on the blog and you guys can’t seem to get enough of my grain bowls and salads. I know the feeling. 😉 I wanted to round up some of these in an easy-to-browse category that features…
    • Healthy Oatmeal RecipesA collection of healthy oatmeal recipes, including sweet and savory breakfast and brunch options as well as delicious, wholesome snacks and desserts. We are pretty much oatmeal fanatics in my house. ALL of us adore oatmeal and it’s a rare day that we’re not making or eating something with oats or oatmeal in it at some point during the day. And I mean all four of us – my husband, myself and our kids (currently ages 6 and 4). Our go-to 3-minute microwave oatmeal is a morning staple for my husband and a weekly staple for the kids and me. My kids eat overnight oatmeal jars at least twice a week for breakfast and we often have baked oatmeal another morning of the week. For school lunches or afternoon snack, we can be found munching on some no-bake cookie or energy balls with oats, oatmeal cookies of some variety or if they’ve asked nicely, I’ll make a batch of granola and we all just shovel handful after handful until it’s gone. Want to know some of our very favorites of the group below? OK, I’ll share! Our family’s favorite healthy oatmeal recipes: Healthy chocolate chip muffins Overnight oatmeal jars, 3…

Banana blueberry muffins

These whole grain, naturally sweetened banana blueberry muffins are creamy, moist and bursting with fresh fruit flavor! They make a great healthy breakfast or snack.Regular and mini blueberry muffins with banana on a colorful plate

(UPDATE: You can watch my daughter and I make these muffins on our Facebook Live video. 💕)

I’ve got a choose-your-own-adventure recipe for you today.

These banana blueberry muffins can be made big or small or both. (I do both. We like options around here.)

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve got some serious muffin munchkins in my house. We have muffins at breakfast, snack, school lunch, sometimes even a savory variety for dinner.

There was a time, when M was a toddler, that I could get her to eat anything if it came in muffin form.

I whipped up some seriously crazy concoctions and she took them down! J, my little boy, has followed suit and loves pretty much anything I serve in muffin form.

And if you think muffins can be unhealthy, well, you’re right. But not done my way. My muffins are always whole wheat/whole grain and mostly naturally sweetened – just like these ones are. I even have lots of options that are made without butter or oil for a super light indulgence.

Given our muffin craze, I made you a whole muffin category so you can share in the fun! Check it out!

And then whip up a batch of these light, bright banana blueberry muffins because they are seriously tasty. Full of fresh fruit and tangy Greek yogurt, these muffins are perfect for breakfast time or an afternoon pick-me-up.

And the extras freeze beautifully, so you can stash some away in your freezer for busy mornings. I love when breakfast is already made for me!

They are also great for snack time or for sending in for a school lunch. Muffins all day long 🙌

A few quick tips, tricks and substitutions for you…

Notes on banana blueberry muffins:

  • I use whole wheat flour but as I mentioned, you can also use white wheat flour, a gluten-free baking flour or regular all-purpose flour. (Or mix all-purpose and whole wheat flour if you’d like.)
  • You’ll need about 2 medium ripe bananas for this recipe. The more ripe, the better.
  • I recommend using muffin liners AND spraying them with nonstick cooking spray. This ensure all of your muffin goodness stays together and doesn’t get stuck on the paper. For mini muffin tins, if you don’t have liners, just spray the little cups and that will work fine to prevent sticking.
  • You can substitute thawed, frozen blueberries for the fresh in this recipe. Be sure to drain them and pat them dry so they don’t have a lot of extra moisture that could affect the muffins. Also note that they might bleed into the batter and affect the color of the muffins.

Finally, since we are making lots, let’s talk what to do with the leftovers.

Storage tips for healthy banana blueberry muffins:

– These muffins will keep covered, on the counter, for up to 2 days.

– After that, as with all baked recipes that have banana in them, I recommend you move them to the refrigerator. They will keep there for another 2-3 days.

– You can also freeze the extras. Let the muffins cool completely. Place them in a freezer-safe ziptop bag (that’s labeled!) and freeze for up to 6 months.

– I like to wrap them individually in aluminum foil before putting them into the bag. It adds an extra layer of protection from freezer burn.

– To thaw, just place one or more muffins in the refrigerator overnight. Serve cold from the fridge or warm in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.

– You can also warm a muffin in the microwave straight from the freezer in a pinch. Start with 45 seconds and add time (and possibly turn it upside down) as needed.

Hope you give these a try and enjoy!

XO,

Kathryn

P.S. I’m headed out for spring break with my family this weekend. (We will be beaching it up in Florida with my in-laws and I am SO excited!)

But don’t worry, I have plenty of deliciousness planned for you so you won’t go hungry. And I have plenty of food packed for us — including a baggie of these muffins — so we’ll be all set on vacation, too. Happy spring, friends!

Yield: 9 regular and 24 mini muffins

Banana blueberry muffins

Whole grain banana blueberry muffins | FamilyFoodontheTable.com

Whole grain banana blueberry muffins are moist and bursting with fresh fruit flavor! They're a great healthy breakfast or snack.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2/3 cup canola oil (or substitute coconut oil)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups oats (I use old fashioned)
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 heaping cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375. Prepare muffin tins: Spray mini muffin tins with cooking spray and/or line regular-size muffin tins with muffin liners and spray the liners with cooking spray. (This helps avoid any sticking when you peel off the liners.)
  2. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl. Add Greek yogurt, honey, oil and vanilla and stir well to combine.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries gently, so you don’t break them. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  6. Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes for mini muffins or for 18-20 minutes for regular-sized muffins.
  7. Let cool for a couple of minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely.
  8. Extras can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

You can make 24 mini muffins and 9 large muffins or 18 mini muffins and 12 large muffins. Or you can do all of one size or the other — you’ll get about 42-44 mini muffins or about 18-20 regular muffins.

    Kids are so funny! Who knows how they decide what they will or won’t eat! I’m with your kids on these muffins though. They sound like a delicious pick-me-up to have with my afternoon coffee and I would definitely enjoy a fruity muffin for breakfast! Safe travels!

    Ooh, these look right up my alley! The muffin combinations that come out of your kitchen are always seriously delectable, Kathryn, and so healthy. It looks like these ones are a perfect ‘best of both worlds’ kind of hybrid for those days when you just can’t choose between banana and blueberry. Sounds great to me! 🙂 Wishing you a lovely weekend!

        I made these this morning with fresh strawberries instead of blueberries, as a way to use up the massive amounts of strawberries we acquired picking yesterday. Cooking time took slightly longer, since the cut berries added more moisture, but they are AMAZING. Highly recommend trying. Next up: your strawberry oat bread.

          Excellent! So glad to hear it 🙂 If you have a strawberry overload, definitely try my freezer strawberry jam too- no canning required and it’s naturally sweetened with honey – http://www.familyfoodonthetable.com/strawberry-freezer-jam/ Have a wonderful Sunday!

    is the vanilla amount correct? it seems like quite a lot bc I bake other cakes and cookies that don’t require so much. Thanks

      Hi, yes, that’s the correct amount of vanilla for the full recipe, which makes a lot of muffins! It’s almost a double recipe so that might be why it seems like a lot of vanilla. I hope you try them!
