Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350. Line a 12-hold muffin pan with cases. Peel the bananas and mash in a bowl using a fork.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, egg, olive oil and bananas. Quickly fold the ingredients together until just incorporated, taking care not to over-mix. Tip in the blueberries and give the batter one or two stirs.
3. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan and sprinkle with the raw brown sugar. Each cup will be quite full. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 mins until muffins are well-risen and golden brown on top; a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.
4. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
