Start your day with a delightful breakfast that combines the freshness of blueberries with the satisfying crunch of nuts. These muffins are perfect for busy mornings or a leisurely weekend brunch.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup melted butter or oil
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped nuts. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is perfect for fluffy muffins.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving Suggestions
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor. These muffins are great for breakfast, snacks, or even a light dessert.
