The boyfriend and I have been working on our gardening skills lately and we bought a few blueberry bushes. With that said, blueberries have definitely been on my mind. So I thought I’d try out some blueberry oat muffins. Sadly, the blueberries I used in this recipe are not from our garden, but they are still delicious (thanks Costco)!
The Pictorial Process
Blueberry Oat Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix milk, oil, and egg in a separate container. I personally just mix them in a large measuring cup to cut down on dishes.
- Slowly stir in wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir blueberries into batter.
- Grease muffin pan or line with muffin liners.
- Bake 22 minutes or until golden brown.
- NOTES
- I used 2 6-cup standard size muffin pans.
The Taste Test
These muffins are a success! When I was mixing the batter I contemplated adding more blueberries, but I’m glad I didn’t. The blueberries flavored every bite of the muffin! More blueberries would’ve made it too juicy. They were still delicious though and not too sweet.
I made these muffins with the intention to share them at a board game night with some friends so I had to control how many I ate. If I didn’t have that restriction I would’ve gobbled them all up!
I think next time I might add a bit more oats or flour (just a 1/4 cup) because it would be nice to have them a little firmer. Or I may try to healthify these next time and switch some of the all-purpose flour for wheat flour. All in all, this is definitely going to be a base for future recipes to come!
Thanks for stopping by and until next time eat well 🙂
