Blueberry and oat muffins
Background
These blueberry and oat muffins are gluten-free and dairy-free but if you don’t have any issues with glute/dairy, use normal oats, flour and yoghurt. The muffins are super easy to make, yummy and not too sweet. Perfect for summer parties, picnic, afternoon teas etc
Ingredients
- For the sauce:
- 150g blueberries
- 3 Tbsp muscovado sugar
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the muffins:
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup muscovado sugar
- ⅓ cup melted margarin or sunflower oil
- 1 cup oat yogurt
- 1 cup gluten-free oat
- 1 .5 cup gluten -free elf-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Lightly beat the eggs with the sugar, then add the oil and yoghurt. Mix in the oats and rest while you’re making the blueberry sauce.
- Put the blueberries in a small saucepan, add the sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Bring to the boil, then cook until you get a thick, sticky sauce (almost jam-like). Turn off the heat and let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a muffin-tin with paper case or put some silicon cases on a baking tray.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the oat mixture, combine well. Spoon half of the batter into the muffin cases - they should be half full - then spoon some blueberry sauce on top, then cover with the remaining batter. If you want the muffins to be crunchy, top them with a pinch (or two) of muscovado sugar.
- Bake the muffins in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove the tin from the oven, let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
