You make these soft blueberry oatmeal muffins using simple ingredients for a hearty, moist breakfast treat perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until combined. This is your wet mixture.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix them gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes tough muffins.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If you are using them, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the tops of the batter in the muffin cups.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can substitute the milk with plain yogurt or buttermilk.
  • If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them; toss them lightly in a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent sinking.
  • These muffins stay moist for several days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
