Blueberry Oat Muffins {Whole Grain, No Refined Sugar}

Today I am sharing my healthy blueberry oat muffins recipe. These are a real showstopper, y’all.

And bonus points that they are 100% whole grain and refined sugar free. Shhhhhh! Don’t tell my husband and kids! They are sweetened with pure maple syrup (<-thank you Costco for the giant jug of pure 100% maple syrup).

Now, I don’t get hung up on trying to make something “clean” or healthy before I eat it. But sometimes I get inspired to try a more whole-food sub here or there. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. 😜

This recipe totally works. And these muffins y’all! They seriously taste amazing. Soooo yummy! 😋👌🏻

So my secret weapons for this recipe? In addition to the aforementioned maple syrup, I use Greek yogurt and coconut oil to give these great texture and a bit more nutrition.

Oh, and I have I mentioned my favorite ingredient for baking? Whole wheat pastry flour!

This flour has earned a permanent spot on my grocery list. It is 100% whole wheat, but it is so very much lighter and fluffier than its plain whole wheat counterpart. You can get it at Whole Foods, and probably a whole lot of other places. If you can’t find it locally, I have found it for you on Amazon here: Bob’s Red Mill Organic Pastry Flour Whole Wheat, 5 lbs

These muffins were partially inspired by my husband when he brought home some sad looking mass-produced blueberry muffins from the grocery store one day. They had fake blueberry flecks, plus a bunch of ingredients that I could not pronounce.

These are a more nutritious version, and you don’t have to sacrifice on taste one bit. Pinkie promise!

And to prove it, I gave them to my husband, four-year-old son and one year old daughter…who ALL ate them happily.

Oh! Funny story real quick! When my son brings home art work, he will tell me, “I made that Mommy!” My response is always, “I am so proud of you!”

Well, when I told him that mommy made these muffins for him as I was feeding him breakfast, he said, “Mommy, I am SO proud of you!” 😂🤣

He also said, “YUMMY, Mommy.” 💖👌🏻
