Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Optional: 1/4 tsp cinnamon (for added flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease it.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined—do not overmix. The batter will be somewhat thick.

          Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

              Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden.

                Cool Down: Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy your guilt-free blueberry muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for later enjoyment!
