These Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are simple, wholesome, and satisfying. Made with a mix of oat and almond flour and juicy blueberries, you can feel good eating one or two, or three!
I love a good healthy muffin, especially when the recipe is quick, easy and nutritious, which makes for a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack. For the record, I'm not against eating actual sugar AT ALL. Anyone that knows me, knows that I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. I blame that on my genes (thanks mom). As I'm getting older I've realized that the more years I'm collecting, the more my body asks for a balanced nutrition. To add to the age factor, I've also had my thyroid removed due to cancer. So the fact that I have to rely on a tiny pill to regulate my hormones and metabolism gives me all the more reason to be conscious of the foods I'm eating.
The way I see it is, just because you're eating healthy doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite baked goods! These Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are perfect for when you want a more wholesome breakfast or snack without all of the guilt! They're sweetened with pure maple syrup and bursting with blueberries.
I opted for oat flour instead of all-purpose flour because oats are higher in protein and healthy fats and oat flour will help you feel full longer because of the high fiber content of it. You can purchase oat flour or for a cheaper option, you can easily make your own oat flour by simply placing oats into a blender and pulsing until they're smooth and resemble flour. For this recipe, you'll need 1 1/2 cups of oats to make about 1 cup oat flour.
Note : to keep the blueberries from sinking in the muffins, simply toss them in the oat flour before adding them to the batter!
Besides oat flour, you'll also need almond flour, salt and baking soda, as your dry ingredients, and 2 eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk (or your favorite nut milk), olive oil and lemon juice, as your wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients in 1 bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Mix together, then add the blueberries after you've tossed them in the oat flour. Then it's time to bake the Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins!
These muffins can be stored on the counter at room temperature for 1-2 days. After that, I like to put them in the refrigerator, IF they last that long!
