Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This mixture adds moisture and natural sweetness.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy for tender muffins.
- Fold in the blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout but not mashed.
- Bake to perfection: Spoon the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, fold them in straight from the freezer to prevent color bleeding.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins; fold until just combined.
- Measure ingredients accurately, especially flour and oats, to ensure consistent results.
- Bring eggs and yogurt to room temperature to help them blend smoothly into the batter.
- Check muffins a few minutes before the suggested baking time to prevent drying out.
