Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional for extra nutrition)
Instructions
- :
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and chia/flax seeds (if using).
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- :
- You can use frozen blueberries; just don’t thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the muffins from turning blue.
- These muffins are naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, but you can reduce the sweetness if you prefer a less sugary option.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle some oats on top of the muffins before baking.
- If you want a gluten-free version, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
