Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)

1 large egg

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed, and drained)

Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon for a warm spice touch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with baking spray.

    Prepare the Oats: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats and buttermilk. Allow them to soak for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. This helps soften the oats and enhances their texture.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, honey (or maple syrup), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Once the oats have soaked, stir them into the wet mixture.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk well to ensure there are no lumps.

          Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are fine.

            Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. (Optional: sprinkle a few extra blueberries on top for a nice look.)

                Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert!
