Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut or olive oil until smooth and well combined.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, leaving some lumps to avoid tough muffins.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without crushing them.
  6. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set and retain moisture.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; gently fold frozen berries to prevent discoloring the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and airy.
  • Measure ingredients precisely, especially oats and flour, to achieve balanced texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying honey or maple syrup amounts or using mashed bananas.
  • Test muffins for doneness at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
