Recipe ingredients
- Oat flour. Use store-bought oat flour or make your own by grinding rolled oats until very fine. If you need to avoid gluten, choose certified gluten-free oat flour.
- Maple syrup. Adds natural sweetness and pairs well with blueberries. Honey or another liquid sweetener can be used as a substitute in the same quantity.
- Greek yogurt. Provides moisture and a tender texture; swap for a plant-based yogurt if you need a dairy-free version.
- Eggs. Two eggs give the muffins structure and lift.
- Oil. A neutral oil keeps the crumb soft; melted butter could be used for a richer flavor.
- Leavening. Baking powder and a bit of baking soda help the muffins rise and achieve a light texture.
- Blueberries. Fresh or frozen blueberries both work. Toss them with a tablespoon of oat flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.

How to make this recipe
This recipe is straightforward and quick: whisk the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients, fold in the blueberries, and scoop into a lined muffin tin. Bake until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Pro tip: Toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of oat flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking.
Tips for success
- Measure oat flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling it rather than scooping directly from the bag or canister.
- Bring eggs and yogurt to room temperature for smoother mixing and more consistent rise.
- Mix just until combined; overmixing can make the muffins dense.
- Coating the blueberries with a tablespoon of oat flour helps keep them suspended in the batter.
- Cool muffins completely before removing liners to preserve shape and texture.
Recipe FAQs

Yes. Pulse rolled oats in a food processor or high-speed blender until they reach a fine, flour-like texture. Sift if needed to remove larger pieces.
Storage Tips
Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Because these contain Greek yogurt, refrigerating them after two days will keep them fresher for up to 5 days.
Freezing Instructions
Freeze muffins in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave before serving.
