Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to ensure even baking and easy removal of muffins.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to form the hearty base of the muffins.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended, adding moisture and sweetness to the batter.
  4. Combine and Fold in Blueberries: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the muffins light. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. 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 with a tender crumb.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; frozen can add moisture to the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for a hearty texture.
  • Add yogurt gradually to keep batter smooth and moist.
  • Try mini muffin tins to create bite-sized treats; reduce baking time accordingly.
