Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned), plus 2 tablespoons for topping
  • 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw)
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons turbinado sugar for a light, crunchy top
  • Optional add-ins: zest of 1 lemon, 1/3 cup chopped nuts, or 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pan and oven: Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the rolled oats, oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  • Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Bring the batter together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick; avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in blueberries: Toss blueberries with a teaspoon of flour if using fresh (helps prevent sinking). Gently fold into the batter until evenly distributed.
  • Portion the batter: Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Sprinkle the tops with the extra oats and, if using, a light dusting of turbinado sugar.
  • Bake: Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. This helps keep the bottoms from steaming and getting soggy.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. For extra brightness, add a little lemon zest to the batter or a squeeze of lemon over warm muffins.
