Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Fresh blueberries (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the blueberries or chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your healthy low-fat oatmeal muffins as a snack or breakfast!
