Here’s a next-level muffin recipe that’s a serious go-to: Oatmeal and Blueberry Muffins! Now these oatmeal muffins aren’t just made from oats. They are everything Oats! In other words, there is no all-purpose flour at all. You will use a blender to blend oatmeal, bananas, and maple syrup into a wholesome and healthy muffin batter. The best? They are so delicious. Alex and I often serve them to our 2-year-old Larson for breakfast or lunch – it’s like eating oatmeal with a banana and blueberries! Here are the secrets to this deliciously healthy muffin.

The trick to these oatmeal muffins: the mixer!

Many oatmeal muffin recipes include a handful of oats with the traditional formula of all-purpose flour and sugar. But these Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are 100% oats! How is it possible?

You can actually grind oatmeal into a kind of flour: in a blender! These are blender muffins: muffins where the batter is made entirely in a blender. You throw all the ingredients in a blender and blend. As if by magic, the result is a moist, moist texture, like a standard muffin, but with no flour or sugar.

Ingredients for Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

These Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are made with healthy, whole-food ingredients! Don’t expect a bakery-style muffin that looks more like a cupcake. Instead, these are sweet and savory but full of goodness.

• oatmeal
• ripe bananas

Simply blend these ingredients in a blender and pour into muffin tins. Then bake for 30 minutes. They’re so moist and flavorful, no one will believe they’re made entirely from oats!

Nutritional Benefits of Oats

There are so many good things about eating these Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins! Because they’re mostly oatmeal, they offer all the benefits of a big bowl of oatmeal! Alex and I eat a lot of oatmeal around our house, so we love that there is a trick that turns this into something that looks like a muffin but has all the goodness of oatmeal. According to the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Oats:

• Are rich in fiber
• May reduce risk of heart disease
• May be helpful in weight control

How to ripen bananas

The hardest part of planning this blueberry oatmeal muffin recipe is finding ripe bananas! Bananas can take several days to ripen, depending on how ripe they are when you buy them. How to ripen bananas in a few days:

• Place the bananas in a paper bag and fold up.
• Add another piece of ripe fruit (or a ripe banana) in the bag. This increases the ethylene gas that ripens the fruit.
