INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

  • 3/4 cup instant oats

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 3/4 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (optional)

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Mix oats and milk and leave it aside for 20 minutes. Do not skip this step!

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. If necessary, grease all muffin cups with oil.

  • First mix coconut oil or butter and honey together and add eggs, yogurt, vanilla and mix, then add the soaked oats and mix.

  • In a separate bowl, Pour all the dry ingredients into the wet and mix with a big spoon.; for the best result, add dry ingredients in 4 phase and mix just until combined.

  • Fold blueberries gently into the batter and mix (Fresh blueberries will give you an excellent colour). Do not use an electric mixer or mix for a long time. That will ruin the muffins.

  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top. Check with a toothpick inserted into a muffin if it comes out clean (The time depends on your oven and can vary).
