Healthy Blueberry Oat Muffins- oil, sugar, dairy, and flour free!

This is one of my favourite muffin recipes!!! It's the same recipe as my Apple Crisp Muffins but I added blueberries instead. They are made without flour, dairy, sugar, or oil and are sooo good! My family ate the whole batch in 2 days!!!! I love that they are loaded with blueberries and use whole grain oat flour, almond milk, and natural honey.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats ( 2 cups ground, 1/2 cup whole)
  • 2 Tbsp old-fashioned oats for muffin tops (unless adding crumb topping-see below for ingredients and recipe)
  • 2 large bananas overripe, (1.5 cup mashed or or 1.5 cup applesauce- I used applesauce)
  • 1 cup blueberries (or your favourite add in like 1 cup berries, OR 1/2 cup grated zucchini and 1/2 chopped apple as an example)
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)
  • 2 tsp real vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place oats on a baking sheet and toast until lightly browned, stirring once (about 4 to 6 minutes). Do not let these get too toasted! Then cool to room temperature. *Note-If you are in a hurry you can skip this step, however the toasting adds flavour!)
  • Divide oats into portions of 2 cups, .5 cup and 2 Tbsp
  • Turn oven heat up to 350 degrees.
  • Place 2 cups of oats in a food processor and blend/pulse until they reach a rough, flour like consistency.
  • Mash bananas well, they should have no lumps. I use my mixer to mash them before adding the other wet ingredients.
  • Add eggs, honey, milk and vanilla. Mix to combine.
  • Add dry ingredients (including the ground oats and .5 cup whole oats) to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Allow these to sit for 10 minutes to soak the oats.
  • Fold in approximately 1 cup fruit (I like them with lots of fruit!), raisins or nuts.
  • Scoop into muffin tin, lined with muffin wrappers (makes 12 muffins).
  • Sprinkle muffin tops with the 2 Tbsp of reserved oats or crumb topping (see recipe below) and press lightly to make sure they stick.
  • Bake at 350 for about 20 -23 minutes, a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.

Notes

Enjoy!!
