Our Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins are my favorite muffins right now!
They’re made with a combination of cake flour and almond flour and standard muffin ingredients like sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.
As well as a measure of pure vanilla extract, rolled oats, and a touch of cinnamon.
And, of course, ripe, juicy, sweet North Bay Produce Blueberries!
Here Is What You Need
North Bay Produce Blueberries. We love fresh, sweet North Bay Blueberries in so many things, and we especially love them in homemade muffins.
Cake Flour, Almond Flour. Using cake flour and almond flour makes for delicate, fluffier, and cake-like muffins. Almond flour is gluten-free, and it also makes great muffins. However, overmixed almond flour can result in denser muffins. Mix muffins using almond flour by hand to avoid overmixing.
Rolled Oats. When it comes to oatmeal, they are not all created equal. Avoid quick oats because quick oats will act as a binder and absorb moisture. But rolled oats will serve as an add-in (like chocolate chips or chopped nuts) and provide additional nutrition, dietary fiber, texture, and flavor.
Sugar, Salt, Cinnamon. Adding sugar makes for sweeter muffins, and salt balances out the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the ingredients. I added a touch of cinnamon to give our muffins a bit of spice, which is ideal for fall baking.
Baking Powder, Baking Soda. Baking soda and baking soda are leaveners, which makes baked goods rise. Typically, one isn’t necessarily a substitute for the other. Often, as is the case here, both ingredients complete each other.
Vanilla Extract, Melted Butter. Pure vanilla extract and melted butter add much flavor; this muffin recipe wouldn’t be good without them.
Eggs, Greek Yogurt. Eggs are binding agents, and Greek yogurt helps produce moist muffins.
Finishing Sugar. Before baking, top each muffin with raw or finishing sugar to add a little razzle-dazzle to our Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins.
