These blueberry oatmeal muffins are lighter and filled with fresh blueberries, moist oats, and a hint of vanilla. The oats are soaked in your choice of milk before baking which results in a pleasant oatmeal texture in muffin form. They are great for an easy breakfast or midday snack!
Substitutions + Variations
Milk – Any milk, dairy or non-dairy, will work in this recipe. 2%, oatmilk, use your favorite type!
Berries – You can use frozen berries instead of fresh if you have that on hand. Just reduce the milk to 3/4 cup.
Sugar – You can use maple syrup instead of honey.
Tips
Don’t skip on soaking the rolled oats! The oats need to sit and absorb the milk for these muffins to have a chewy oatmeal texture.
