Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3/4 cup quick oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup light olive oil, melted/cooled coconut oil, or avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (e.g., cashew, oat, soy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Line or grease 9 muffin cups.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk maple syrup, oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Mix Together: Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently, then fold in the blueberries and remaining dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Use a spoon to fill each muffin cup nearly to the top.
  6. Bake: Bake at 425ºF (220ºC) for 5 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350ºF (175ºC) and continue baking for 12-18 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Pro Tips and Common Mistakes

  • Visual Cue: Look for golden edges and a clean toothpick for doneness.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Mix until just combined to keep muffins light.
  • Pro Tip: Coat blueberries with a little flour to prevent sinking.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Enjoy with a spread of butter or a spoonful of yogurt.
  • Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating Instructions: Thaw frozen muffins at room temperature and warm in a microwave for 20-30 seconds or in an oven at 350ºF (175ºC) for 5-10 minutes.
