I have loved Blueberry Muffins since I was little.  Probably because it’s pretty close to getting to eat cake for breakfast.  

I also had some texture issues when I was a kid so the only way I would eat blueberries was if they were baked in a delicious fluffy muffin.  

As an adult, I love blueberries in all kinds of recipes, but there is something about blueberry muffins that just really stands out as one of my favorite blueberry featured recipes. 

Believe it or not, these blueberry oat muffins were inspired by my cornbread muffin recipe.  

I loved the texture of the cornbread muffins and thought I could essentially use the same recipe but substitute cornmeal for gluten free all purpose flour.  

This was one of the first times I had thought of a way to change a recipe to make it into a completely different recipe and I was pretty proud of myself at the time for drawing that conclusion.  

It made me feel like I was finally starting to understand all of these gluten free baking tricks and ingredients.  Which took A LOT of trial and error over a couple of years. 

I was shocked when these muffins turned out as delicious as they did on the first try!  Which is very rare when experimenting in gluten free baking.  

I  expected to either have a complete failure or at least have to tweak some things and try again at some point, but they were delicious!  I couldn’t believe they were gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free!

The texture is soft but hearty because of the oats and the sweet blueberry flavor was exactly what I look for in a good blueberry muffin.  

These blueberry oat muffins were also super easy to make.  They only require one bowl and took me 10 minutes the get into the oven.  That’s my kind of breakfast recipe!  

What are some recipes you have changed or used to inspire you to come up with new recipes?  Isn’t it such a cool feeling to be able to create recipes and experiment with new ideas?!  

I can’t wait to hear about all of the things you have come up with and I hope you enjoy these blueberry oat muffins as much as my family does!

  1. Really great recipe apart from the fact my partner misread the TSP and put Tbsp for them all so really salty! We were making them for our son. Gutted as will be to salty for him. How many kcal in each muffin?

    1. I’m sorry that happened! I hope you get a chance to try them again sometime with the right amount of salt. Here is the nutrition info for these muffins.

  2. My family loves these so much! We can eat them on our VERY restrictive diet. I was inspired to experiment with Fall flavors today and substituted a diced Granny Smith apple in place of the blueberries and added 1/2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice. Oh my! You MUST try it!

  3. Good recipe! I substituted mixed frozen fruit (chopped) and the muffins were equally as good as with just blueberries.
