My favorite blueberry oatmeal muffins
We love making muffins as a family. The kids like to be in the kitchen with me baking on occasion and muffins are a great healthy treat that I can feel good about serving the whole family. We make everything from Orange Cranberry Muffins, to Chocolate Chip Wheat Mini Muffins. Today I’m sharing my favorite blueberry muffins!
Blueberry muffins are such a traditional favorite for breakfasts and snacks. For different versions, try Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins or our Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins.
Are these wholesome blueberry muffins?
These are a great made-from-scratch blueberry muffin recipe that you can feel good about serving your family. I enjoy making muffins at home because I get to see what ingredients are going into the bowl. I feel more confident about serving these as a wholesome option because they contain oats, blueberries, and less processed ingredients.
Should I spray my muffin liners with non-stick cooking spray?
This is one of those little tricks that sometimes I do and sometimes I skip. I’m not always worried about the muffins coming cleanly out of their wrappers and sometimes they do even without the spray. If you are making these for a party or event and you want them to be just perfect, give each muffin liner a spray with nonstick cooking spray. It’ll help them come out cleanly after baking and they’ll have a more professional appearance.
Here’s what you’ll need to make my blueberry oatmeal muffins:
- all-purpose flour
- fresh or frozen blueberries
- old fashioned oats
- brown sugar
- baking powder
- skim milk
- canola oil
- 1 egg
- vanilla extract
How to make these tasty blueberry muffins at home:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Line twelve medium muffin cups with paper baking cups or spray bottoms only with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar and baking powder; mix well.
- In a small bowl, combine milk, oil, egg and vanilla and blend well.
- Add wet to dry ingredients all at once and add blueberries. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Careful not to over-mix)
- Fill muffin cups almost full. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool muffins in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Serve warm.
Why should I avoid over mixing this muffin batter?
Over mixing the muffin batter can create a couple of problems. The first of which is that they won’t be light and airy they’ll be kind of dense and tough. No one wants a dry, tough muffin, right?
Another problem is that it can cause them to bake unevenly and you can end up with flat muffins or muffins that pour out over their cups. Over-mixing can also be responsible for odd peaks or holes in your muffins after baking.
I know it’s tempting to keep mixing but it really is only necessary to mix until the ingredients are combined and then stop!

I have never tried that! I typically use Bob's Red Mill 1-for-1 Flour if I'm doing a straight substitution. You can find it at many large grocery stores: https://amzn.to/3MPodqg
