Clean Eating Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins Recipe

This is the best Clean Eating blueberry oatmeal muffins recipe because they are soft and fluffy. I put an extra lot of baking powder in them and that does the trick.

I've been on a blueberry muffin kick and have been making and experimenting with whole wheat oatmeal blueberry muffins this week for my family. This recipe is anything but dry. They are SO soft and pillowy. And yes, it really does call for 4 teaspoons of baking powder. This makes the muffins puff up sky high and keeps them from being dense and heavy.

These muffins are so good! The kids eat them up like crazy and it will be hard for you to keep any for later. The second they come out of the oven plan on them being gone and leave you wanting more of them! These muffins are great for breakfast but they are also a great afternoon snack.

These can be a perfect treat to have ready for your children when they get home from school and want a break before jumping into their homework. I think it is important for children to have a break and be able to refresh. Plus, they will think you are the best mom ever if they walk in the door and smell these baking.

The main reason I spent so much effort in developing this recipe is for school lunches. I wanted something I could put in their lunches boxes they would like that had healthy carbs and fruit and no sugar. In their lunch boxes, I just put these cleanblueberry muffins, some cooked uncured bacon, and their favorite vegetable. That gets a carb, protein, fruit, and vegetable and they love this lunch.

I usually make them at night after they have gone to bed so they don't eat them before I can pack them for lunch and then I make sure to save somefor a quick breakfast the next morning.

The original idea was for them to have these muffins for breakfast one day and lunch the next day, but that never seems to work out because that would require planning ahead and kid's not sneaking these before lunch the next day. Oh well; they don't seem to care that they get them two meals in a row.

Please let me know if you try these muffins and what you think of them.

Description

These blueberry oatmeal muffins are made with whole wheat flour, oat flour * and honey - so you can feel good eating them.

Ingredients

Scale

⅓ Cup Honey
2 Eggs
1 Cup Coconut Milk * (or favorite milk, such as almond or cow's milk)
1 tsp Lemon Juice
½ Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
1 ½ Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 ½ Cups Oat Flour *
4 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Real Salt *
1 ¼ Cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin tin with baking wrappers or grease the tins well with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Place the honey, eggs, and coconut oil in a mixing bowl and whisk together until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add in half of the coconut milk mixture and whisk until just combined. Whisk in the remaining dry ingredients and finish by adding in the remaining coconut milk mixture, mixing just until combined - do not over-mix.
Fold the blueberries into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin tins (tins will be completely full of batter).
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until tops are set.
Let cool for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

For maximum freshness, I like to store these in an airtight container on the counter with a paper towel on both top and bottom. Anything you don't eat in two days, it's best to freeze. Storing them in the fridge does make them last longer, but the texture isn't nearly as good.

  I haven't tried it yet but it looks delicious. What kind of honey do you use for these muffins?

    Any type of honey will do. There is no point using raw honey since it will be heated anyway.

My toddler and I made these “cupcakes” by leaving out the blueberries and adding sprinkles. A great healthy treat - anything is better with sprinkles, right?

Made these today, super delicious!! I also made my own oat flour by blending rolled oats. Turned out great. Should these be stored in the refrigerator in the air right container or left out?

  I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard that rice flour can be a good substitute for rice flour. I've only tested the recipe with oat flour, unfortunately.

Baked these today! They are great. Good texture and not dry at all. I used almond milk and made my own oat flour by blending rolled oats and it worked great. Would recommend 🙂

  Whatever milk you normally use, such as almond or cow's milk should work fine.

These look delicious! I'm on a low carb diet and wondering... when you make these roughly how many carbs are in them? Hoping it can be a quick breakfast to grab on our busy mornings!!

  Not sure. They never last more than a day or two at my house. Maybe someone else who has made them will comment and let you know.

  Sort of. Not really the same at all, but it's a small enough amount, it may not be too bad. It's certainly not something I've tried, so I would love to know if it works for you.

Can you use canned coconut milk or the stuff in the carton?

  I always use canned because that's what I have on hand, but the cartoon stuff should work fine too.

Could you use almond flour or coconut flour in place of the whole wheat flour? Would it cause problems?

  I would not use either of those flours because they are very different. However, a whole wheat spelt flour should be able to be substituted.

I can't wait to try these! Blueberry muffins are my family's favorite, but I always struggle to keep them moist and high when making them healthy. I'm printing your recipe and will give them a try soon! Pinned. 🙂
