Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90g) quick oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
- 1 cup (148g) blueberries
- 1/2 cup (170g) honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (48g) melted coconut oil, avocado oil or another neutral oil
- 1/4 cup (57g) unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature and lightly beaten
- 1 cup (240g) plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, optional for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gently toss the blueberries in the flour mixture to prevent them from sinking during baking.
- In another bowl, whisk the honey or maple syrup, melted oil, applesauce, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, with a few dry bits remaining.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling to the rim, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425ºF, then reduce the temperature to 350℉ and bake for an additional 15 to 17 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a non-dairy alternative.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days.
Feel free to mix in other fruits or nuts for added flavor.
