These gluten free blueberry oat muffins are the perfect breakfast muffin- filled with fiber, low sugar, and allergy friendly! These muffins are easy to make and ideal for meal prep.
Over this last year, I developed a new found love for oats in all forms (granola, cookies, muffins, etc), so I had to give some oat muffins a try. I don’t like when muffins have too many oats though. It can’t be overbearing! I love these gluten free oat muffins because there is only a 1/2 cup of oats in this recipe and plenty of blueberries.
These blueberry muffins are also completely refined sugar free. They are made with maple syrup and only a touch of it. These are the perfect, healthy breakfast muffin as they aren’t sugar loaded, but are packed with fiber from the oats and blueberries, and contain a good heaping of cinnamon. If you want your muffins to be a little sweeter, I suggest sprinkling the tops with coconut or brown sugar before baking or just drizzling your muffin with honey when ready to eat.
How to make gluten free blueberry oat muffins
- First, you’ll whisk together all the dry ingredients. This includes a mix of 1:1 gluten free flour, tigernut or almond flour, gluten free oats, baking powder, and cinnamon
- Second, you’ll beat all the wet ingredients together. This includes eggs, yogurt, maple syrup, oil or butter, and milk. You can use vegan butter and milk to keep this recipe completely dairy free.
- Third, you’ll combine the dry with the wet and fold in the blueberries. It’s that simple! Just pop the batter in a muffin tin, bake, cool, eat.
