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
Main Ingredient
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Rinse the blueberries and dry them gently to avoid excess moisture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together to evenly distribute all the leavening agents and grains.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your muffins tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed but not crushed to prevent purple streaks.
- Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among your muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and muffins turn golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin for best texture and flavor; enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for better texture and flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- Measure flour correctly by spooning into the cup and leveling off.
- Add a touch of lemon zest to brighten flavor and complement blueberries.
- Test for doneness early as oven temperatures vary.
