Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, ensuring they are well incorporated.
  4. Mix Batter: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to distribute evenly without crushing them.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture, but frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Honey or maple syrup can be adjusted according to desired sweetness.
  • These muffins freeze well and can be reheated gently before serving.
