GF Blueberry Breakfast Muffins

Prep:10minCook:25min

This is a great way to use up my blueberry harvest, but you can throw in diced apples instead! Cut back on the agave nectar by making sure your banana is freckly-ripe. Or sub out the agave nectar with honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or any other natural sweetener. Use gluten-free rolled oats and you have a perfect on-the-go, GF-protein muffin for breakfast or afternoon snack

Ingredients

8 servings

⅔ cupWhole rolled oats

¼ tspsalt

½ tspvanilla

½ cupunsweetened almond milk

½ tspcinnamon

2 Tbspagave nectar

¾ cupfresh blueberries

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tin with 8 paper liners

Step 2

In a food processor: add in oats, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Process until the oats look like the size of sand grains (as an alternative, I used 1/3 cup of rolled oats and 1/3 cup of oat flour to replace the 2/3 cup of whole rolled oats to quicken the process and obtain a smoother texture).

Step 3

Add in remaining ingredients to the oat mixture and process until smooth -- about 2-3 minutes

Step 4

Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop out the batter (it may be fairly runny) and fill each to just about 1/4"+ from the top of the liner. Open the oven and slide out the rack, then carefully place the filled muffin tin on the rack. Before sliding the rack back in, slowly drop about 10-12 blueberries into each muffin. Slide the rack into the oven and close the door. Doing this step slowly prevents the batter from sloshing out.

Step 5

Bake at 350° for about 22-25 minutes, until the tops start to brown. Set the muffin tin on a cooling rack. The tops will rise while baking, but will deflate a bit shortly after removing from the oven. After about a minute on the cooling rack, use a fork to carefully lift the muffins out of the tin and set the muffins on a cooling rack. Cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Pull the liner away from the muffin slowly to ensure you get to enjoy EVERY LAST CRUMB!
