Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or canola oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen (don't defrost)
Instructions
- Combine the oats and milk in a bowl or glass measuring cup and let them soak for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper muffin cup liners.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir together a few times before pouring in the soaked oats (plus remaining milk) and blueberries. Stir just until combined and you no longer see streaks of flour.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan then place it on the middle rack of the oven. Bake at 425° F. for 5 minutes and then turn the heat down to 350° F. and bake for another 12-15 minute or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack.
