The muffins have a rough, textured top layer with golden-brown oats and visible dark purple blueberries. Thin, light cream almond slices are scattered on top of each muffin, adding contrast to the oats and berries. One muffin near the center has its liner partially peeled back and is cut in half, revealing a soft inner layer filled with oats and blueberries. A light blue cloth is tucked near the top left corner, adding a soft texture next to the muffins. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (180g) plain Greek yogurt (0% recommended)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (85g) creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup (113g) honey
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (170g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (about 123g) fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
  • Optional for topping: 3 tablespoons sliced, slivered, or chopped almonds

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners or spray very generously with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Whisk everything until fully combined. Fold in 3/4 cup of the blueberries, saving the rest for topping.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling them all the way to the top. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries and almonds (if using) evenly over the muffins.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 21-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; no need to thaw frozen berries before adding.
  • Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter for extra warmth and spice.
  • For a nut-free option, swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter and omit almond flour and almond toppings.
  • To make the muffins vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use maple syrup instead of honey.

Storage

Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To enjoy warm muffins, reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.

How to Serve

A stack of three golden brown muffins with visible blueberries inside each one, wrapped in white paper baking cups with ridged texture. The muffins have a slightly crumbly top with some almond slices scattered on the top muffin. They are placed on a metal cooling rack with a few crumbs and a fresh blueberry in front. The background is a soft white marbled texture with a blurred white marbled surface beneath, creating a clean and bright setting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries in this recipe?

Yes, frozen blueberries work well and can be added directly to the batter without thawing. Just be gentle when folding them in to avoid turning the batter blue.

Are these muffins gluten-free?

They can be gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats. Regular oats may be processed in facilities with gluten, so always check the packaging if you need to avoid gluten.

Fruits and Toppings

  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons (about 123g) fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
  • Optional for topping: 3 tablespoons sliced, slivered, or chopped almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners or spray generously with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Set aside the prepared pan.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, creamy almond butter, honey, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet ingredients, add the old-fashioned rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk all ingredients thoroughly until everything is fully incorporated. Then gently fold in 3/4 cup of the blueberries, reserving the rest for topping the muffins.
  4. Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each one completely to the top for a nice rise. Evenly distribute the reserved blueberries on top of the batter in each muffin cup. If desired, sprinkle sliced or chopped almonds on top for extra crunch and flavor.
  5. Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 21 to 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  6. Cool and Store: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring or serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to one week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use either fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to batter to prevent discoloring the batter.
  • For a nut-free option, almond butter and almond flour can be substituted with sunflower seed butter and oat flour, respectively.
  • These muffins freeze well—wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw before eating.
  • Try adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed meal to boost fiber and omega-3 content.
