Ideas on how to accompany them.
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly greasing them with oil.
- Dry Mixture: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Wet Mixture: In another bowl, mix the egg, mashed banana, almond milk, coconut oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to make the muffins fluffy.
- Blueberries: Carefully add the blueberries to the dough, trying to distribute them evenly.
- Bake: Fill each cavity of the muffin tin up to 3/4 full. If you like, you can sprinkle a little oats or brown sugar on top for a crunchy touch.
- Cooking: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips and Variants:
- If you use frozen blueberries, they do not need to be defrosted; add them directly to the dough.
- For a gluten-free version, you can use oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Personalize your muffins by adding chopped nuts, chia seeds or a touch of cinnamon for more flavor.
