Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • White whole wheat flour (or regular whole wheat pastry flour)
  • Oat flour (store-bought or blend rolled oats)
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Fine sea salt
  • Granulated sweetener of choice: cane sugar, coconut sugar, or a 1:1 zero-calorie sweetener
  • Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
  • Large egg
  • Light olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Lemon zest (optional but recommended)
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • Nonstick spray or paper liners

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep. Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
  2. Mix the dry. In a medium bowl, whisk 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup oat flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. Whisk the wet. In a large bowl, whisk 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon light olive oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/3 cup granulated sweetener. Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest if using.
  4. Combine gently. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula just until no dry spots remain. The batter should be thick but scoopable. If needed, add 1–2 teaspoons more milk.
  5. Fold in berries. Toss 3/4 cup blueberries with 1 teaspoon flour (prevents sinking), then gently fold into the batter. If using frozen, do not thaw.
  6. Portion. Divide batter evenly among the 12 cups. Aim for about 2 tablespoons per muffin. Sprinkle a few extra blueberries on top if you like.
  7. Bake hot, then finish. Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes to help the muffins rise, then reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and bake 8–10 more minutes. They’re done when a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool. Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. This keeps them light and prevents sogginess.
