Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Binding and Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Seasoning and Leavening Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C) and arrange a 12-cup muffin pan with silicone liners or lightly grease the surface.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until uniformly distributed.
- Select a separate medium bowl and vigorously whisk fresh eggs, creamy Greek yogurt, golden honey, whole milk, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a smooth, consistent texture.
- Gradually incorporate the liquid ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid excessive stirring to maintain a tender muffin texture.
- Delicately coat fresh blueberries with a light dusting of flour, preventing them from sinking during baking, then carefully fold the berries into the prepared batter.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each to the brim for optimal volume and rounded tops.
- Position the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring until the surfaces become firm and develop a golden-brown hue.
- Verify doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should emerge without any wet batter clinging to it.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely within the pan, ensuring they set properly before transferring to a serving plate or storage container.
Notes
- Meal Prep Magic: These muffins can be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, making breakfast planning a breeze.
- Freezer-Friendly Hack: Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag to enjoy fresh muffins for up to 2 months – perfect for quick grab-and-go mornings.
- Customize Your Crunch: Sprinkle some sliced almonds or rolled oats on top before baking for an extra textural boost and nutty flavor.
- Yogurt Power: Greek yogurt adds incredible moisture and protein, creating a more nutritious and satisfying muffin compared to traditional recipes.
- Berry Brilliance: Use fresh or frozen blueberries interchangeably, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them to prevent color bleeding into the batter.
- Health-Conscious Swap: Experiment with whole wheat flour or gluten-free alternatives to match dietary preferences without compromising taste.
