Wild Blueberry Oat Muffins
Wild Blueberry Oat Muffins
Substantial enough to actually be a breakfast food!
This recipe is based off of this recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. My modifications are made as below.
Ingredients
3/4 cup milk
1 cup rolled oats
156g (1 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup frozen wild blueberries
Directions
Combine milk and rolled oats together in a bowl to soak while preparing rest of the ingredients.
Melt butter on the stovetop or microwave, then let it hang out while you prepare everything else.
Preheat oven to 425F.
Mix together dry ingredients: AP flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Put to the side to hang out.
In a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients: melted butter, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract. Also add in the oatmeal mixture (oats and milk). Mix thoroughly.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix it with a spatula to ~25% mixed, meaning if you see flour it is FINE!
Add frozen blueberries to the mixture and continue mixing. TRY TO NOT MIX TO 100%!! I SWEAR IT WILL TURN OUT FINE. IF YOU OVERMIX AT THIS STAGE THEN YOUR MUFFINS WILL TURN OUT WITH A GREEN/BLUE HUE LOL.
Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon into your muffin liners. Fill to about 75% full. Do NOT fill to the top. Please. They will be too full and look ugly.
Bake at 425F for 5 min, keep the muffins inside of the oven still, then lower the temperature to 350F and bake for an additional 16 minutes. Make sure that you stick a toothpick or chopstick in and no crumbs come out.
Enjoy!
Conclusion
This is a surprisingly delicious muffin that doesn’t straight up just taste like an icing-less cupcake in terms of sweetness. Since the blueberries are wild and there are oats inside of the muffin, the whole taste is much more “adult” and less sweet overall. This would pass my “Asian parent” test in terms of sweetness! That’s a win in my books.
