Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins
Good morning friends! Today, I am so excited to share a recipe for some blueberry oat breakfast muffins that I’ve been loving recently. This recipe is perfect to meal prep for a busy work week. These muffins are vegan, nutrient dense, and gluten free friendly. Plus, they are packed with flavor and sweetness. I can’t wait for you all to try them. So, let’s go over a few quick things to note for this recipe. Then, we will dive into the list of ingredients you will need to make this recipe a smashing success.
Can You Use Milk Instead Of Water In Blueberry Muffins?
While some muffin mixes and recipes might require that you use water in the muffin batter, this recipe uses nut milk so that it is completely dairy free. Since I am vegan, I do not use dairy products in any of my baked goods. For this muffin recipe specifically, I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. However, you could easily use any nut milk that you prefer in this recipe.
How Can You Make Healthy Blueberry Breakfast Muffins?
Making healthy blueberry breakfast muffins is much easier than you might think. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious, nutrient dense blueberry muffins that are packed with flavor, color, and sweetness. This recipe specifically uses plant based powerhouses like oats, nut butter, and fresh berries. I use mashed bananas, applesauce, pure maple syrup, and a touch of coconut sugar to add some sweetness to these muffins.
I love eating these blueberry oat muffins as a quick and easy snack or for breakfast in the morning. I keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Then, when I’m ready to eat one, I just microwave it until warm and drizzle on some creamy peanut butter. It is a simple, sweet, and nourishing treat!
Now that we have covered some quick things to note for this recipe, let’s go through the list of ingredients you will need to make these blueberry oat breakfast muffins.
Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins – Ingredients
- Rolled Oats – The first ingredient you will need for these delicious blueberry oat breakfast muffins are the rolled oats. You will want to blend the oats into a flour to form the bulk of the dry base for the muffins.
- Overripe Bananas – The overripe bananas are the next ingredient you will need to make these muffins. You will want to mash them up before adding them to your muffin batter. The riper your bananas are, the sweeter they will be.
- Fresh Blueberries – The fresh blueberries are, of course, another essential ingredient for these blueberry muffins. As an added bonus, they are in season right now.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon adds a bit of extra spice to these muffins. It is the perfect addition to this recipe.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder is used as a key leavening agent in this recipe. It helps the muffins get nice and fluffy.
- Baking Soda – The baking soda is the other essential leavening agent which ensures these muffins rise nicely and achieve a fluffier texture.
- Nut Milk – The nut milk adds moisture to the muffin batter to help it achieve the right consistency. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use whichever kind you have on hand or prefer.
- Peanut Butter – The peanut butter adds richness, creaminess, and moisture to these muffins. You can easily substitute another nut or seed butter if you prefer.
- Unsweetened Applesauce – The unsweetened applesauce adds a ton of moisture and some extra sweetness to these blueberry muffins.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup adds sweetness and stickiness to this muffin recipe. It is one of my favorite sweeteners to use in baked goods, and this recipe is no exception.
- Coconut Sugar – The coconut sugar will be added on top of the muffins for a bit of extra sweetness.
