Bursting Blueberry Oat Muffins

Kayla Castle • Jun 26, 2022

I am not a fan of overnight oats; however baked oats are my jam. Bursting blueberries in each wholesome oat bit with a drizzle of honey on top. These taste amazing right out of the oven when still warm, would taste amazing with a drizzle of nut butter also!


Blueberries are 1 of the healthiest fruits thanks to their nutrient profile:

🫐Rich in antioxidants which have been shown to reduce DNA damage and protect against cancer

🫐 Good sources of vitamin C (immune health) vitamin K (blood clotting) manganese (bone health)

🫐 Filled with soluble fiber- helps the gut eliminate waste 

🫐 While blueberries are highly nutritious, they also are victim of high pesticides, buying organic blueberries is the safest option. Check out the frozen blueberries which I buy are cheaper and highly nutritious!

1 cup oat flour
1 cup rolled oats
5.3 oz vanilla yogurt I used DF
