Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:
  • 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour plus 1 tablespoon, divided
  • ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder preferably aluminum-free
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup nonfat milk plus 2 tablespoons
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; do not thaw if using frozen)

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
  2. Step 2: Lightly grease the muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
  4. Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together the nonfat milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
  6. Step 6: Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to break them up. Sprinkle the reserved tablespoon of flour over the blueberries to help prevent them from sinking.
  7. Step 7: Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full for the best rise.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and slightly domed.
  9. Step 9: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • If using frozen blueberries, add them directly to the batter without thawing.
  • For added texture, fold in chopped nuts or seeds.
