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
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking.
- 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 well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt ensuring they are evenly mixed.
- Combine Wet and Dry Batter: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the muffin tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before mixing to prevent the batter from turning blue.
- To make these muffins gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
