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 ripe banana (mashed) or 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Main Addition
- Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly. Measure all ingredients to ensure a smooth workflow.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the banana or mix applesauce with Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid dense muffins.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries without crushing them to keep bursts of flavor in the muffins.
- Bake the Muffins: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and tops are golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture and moisture control.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes hydrates the oats and improves texture.
- Use room temperature eggs, yogurt, and banana for smooth batter and even baking.
- Check oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent results.
- Optional: Sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar or crushed nut topping before baking for extra crunch.
