Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and either grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Then, add the applesauce, yogurt, 1/4 cup of skim milk, vegetable oil, and the egg. If the batter feels too thick or dry, just stir in a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s like thick oatmeal. Gently fold in the blueberries and walnuts so they’re evenly spread throughout. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool a bit before digging in!
Serving Recommendations
Enjoy these muffins warm with a spread of natural nut butter or a drizzle of honey. They pair well with a cup of herbal tea or a glass of cold almond milk for a balanced and satisfying snack.
Storage Guide
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped and thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave before eating.
