Blueberry Oat Muffins
Background
These blueberry oat muffins are a lighter take on a classic bake, made with less oil and sugar and no dairy. They’re filling without being heavy and work well for breakfast, afternoon tea or packed lunches.
Sweetened with banana and a small amount of unrefined sugar or date syrup, and bulked out with oats, these muffins are easy to make and hold their shape well while staying soft inside.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 Tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp unrefined sugar or 2 Tbsp date syrup
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup wholemeal flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup oat milk, plus more if needed
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tin with paper cases or silicone moulds.
- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl, then add the egg and oil and mix well.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar or date syrup.
- Add the oats, flour, and baking powder and mix until combined.
- Pour in the oat milk and mix again. Add a little more if needed — the batter should be thick but pourable.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until risen and lightly golden.
- Alternatively, bake in an air fryer at 180°C for 15–20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
