Ingredients :

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 2 medium-size, ripe bananas, mashed (200 g or 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) coconut palm sugar*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (60 g) quick oats
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp (135 g) white whole wheat flour**
  • 1 cup (140 g) blueberries, frozen or fresh

Directions :

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC) and prepare a muffin pan by spraying the cavities with cooking spray or lining them with parchment paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs until the yolks break apart. Whisk in the yogurt, bananas, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, and oats mixing until smooth.
  • Spoon in the flour and gently stir it in until just combined. Toss the blueberries in 1 Tbsp (7 g) of flour to prevent them from bleeding or sinking to the bottom of the muffins, and fold them into the batter.

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQs

Q: Can I use old-fashioned oats instead of quick oats?
A: Yes. Pulse old-fashioned oats in a food processor for a few seconds to make them finer, or use them as is for a heartier texture. Baking time may stay the same.

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Yes. Use a dairy-free yogurt and a dairy-free egg replacer (like flax egg) if you want fully dairy-free muffins. Texture may change a bit.

Q: Can I halve the recipe?
A: Yes. This recipe halves well. Use a smaller muffin pan or bake fewer muffins and check doneness with a toothpick after 18 minutes.
