  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour in the milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the wet ingredients.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. A few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  7. In a separate small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture to prevent sinking.
  8. Fold the coated blueberries and lemon zest (if using) into the batter.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can substitute half of the milk with plain yogurt.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • These breakfast muffins with oats and blueberries freeze well for make ahead blueberry muffins.
