A group of twelve oatmeal muffins arranged closely on a white marbled surface, each muffin wrapped in white paper cups. The muffins have a golden-brown, rough textured top with visible oats, and dark purple blueberries baked inside and scattered on top.

Ingredients

3/4 cup (180g) plain Greek yogurt (I use 0%)

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

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners or spray very generously with nonstick spray. Set the pan aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Add the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk everything together until fully combined. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the blueberries, reserving the rest for topping.

Step 4: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each one to the top. Sprinkle the reserved blueberries and almonds evenly over the muffins, if using. Bake for 21–23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Tips & Variations

For a nut-free version, substitute the almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use oat flour instead of almond flour.

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to prevent the batter from turning purple.

Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use any type of yogurt?

Yes, you can use any plain Greek yogurt you prefer, though 0% fat yogurt keeps the muffins lighter. Avoid flavored yogurts as they may alter the sweetness and texture.

Can I make these muffins gluten-free?

Absolutely. Use certified gluten-free rolled oats and ensure your baking powder and other ingredients are gluten-free to keep the muffins safe for gluten-sensitive diets.
