Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (80 g / 2.8 oz) old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup (140 g / 5 oz) blueberries, frozen or fresh
- 1 cup (225 g / 8 oz) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ tsps baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (80 g / 2.8 oz) honey
- 2 tbsps (24 g / 0.8 oz) coconut palm sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheating: Configure the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray to ensure effortless release.
- Dry Ingredient Composition: Combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry foundation with a whisk.
- Liquid Integration: Whisk the egg smoothly, then blend in Greek yogurt, honey, coconut sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a consistent, silky texture.
- Batter Formation: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a delicate crumb structure, being careful not to overmix.
- Fruit Incorporation: Lightly coat blueberries in flour to prevent sinking, then carefully fold them into the batter, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
- Baking Preparation: Fill each muffin cavity to the top, optionally sprinkling coconut sugar on the surface for a caramelized finish. Transfer the tin to the preheated oven.
- Baking and Testing: Bake for 20-22 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge clean when the muffins are perfectly cooked. Allow the muffins to rest briefly in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack to complete their final set.
Notes
- Prevent Blueberry Sinking: Lightly coat berries in flour to ensure even distribution throughout the muffin, avoiding clumping at the bottom.
- Mixing Mastery: Stir wet and dry ingredients gently until just combined to maintain a tender, light muffin texture without developing tough gluten.
- Sugar Sparkle: Optional coconut sugar sprinkle creates a delightful caramelized top, adding extra crunch and sweet complexity to the muffins.
- Cool Down Carefully: Allow muffins to rest briefly in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack, ensuring they don’t break apart during removal.
