🛒 Ingredients
Makes 10–12 muffins
- 1½ cups oats, blended into oat flour or left whole
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk of your choice
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup, optional
- ¼ cup melted butter or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Protein Boost 💪
For a higher-protein version, add:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2–3 tablespoons protein powder, if desired
The exact protein amount will depend on the milk, yogurt, protein powder, and other brands used.
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10–12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the oats: If you want a smoother muffin texture, blend the oats into a fine oat flour. For a more rustic texture, simply leave them whole.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter or oil, vanilla, and optional honey or maple syrup.
- Make the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Add the blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them first.
- Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for approximately 18–23 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
🫐 Helpful Tips
For extra-moist muffins: Add the Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
For sweeter muffins: Use the honey or maple syrup. You can also use sweeter blueberries.
For a bakery-style finish: Sprinkle a few extra blueberries on top before baking.
For meal prep: Let the muffins cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
