I feel like muffins are the classic easy breakfast, and for good reason! They're delicious, and quick for mornings when you're rushing out the door.

I came up with this recipe because it has all the best parts of banana bread, blueberry muffins, and oatmeal (we all know I love oats). These are banana blueberry oatmeal muffins, the wholesome baked good to save you when you don't think you have time for breakfast.

I hope these oat banana blueberry muffins are a kind reminder that breakfast doesn't have to be fancy or hard. Just 15 minutes of prep time, and you've got healthy meals and snacks for a week!

I like to make these a balanced breakfast by pairing it with a protein source like Greek yogurt or hard boiled eggs (aka other low hassle items) and voila: mornings just got even easier.

Substitutions and Variations

To make gluten-free: Use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.

To make dairy-free: Use coconut oil and plant milk of choice.

To make vegan: I haven't tested this, but a flax egg may work (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoon water).

You can totally make this recipe your own with your favourite add-ins! Here are some suggestions:

• White chocolate chips
• Chopped nuts or seeds
• Other fruit of choice

Equipment

• Muffin tray
• Mixing bowls
• Measuring cups
• Whisk

Storage

These oat banana blueberry muffins can be kept on the counter in an airtight container for around 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months in a Ziploc freezer bag.

Top Tip

There's nothing worse than a dense, chewy muffin, so make sure not to over mix the batter! When we over mix muffins, the gluten begins to develop, giving a tougher texture. For a light and fluffy final product, only mix until all ingredients are just combined.

Lastly, these oat banana blueberry muffins are best made with super ripe bananas- you can try storing them overnight in a paper bag to speed up the ripening process.
