Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats *see notes
1 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or gluten-free baking flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas mashed
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the mashed bananas, sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well with a spatula until fully combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the same bowl: 1 cup of flour, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. Mix until a homogeneous batter forms with no remaining visible dry flour. *See the notes section below for an alternative method.
In a separate bowl, coat the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking. Then, gently fold them into the batter.
Divide the mixture into a muffin tin lined with parchment paper muffins liners or silicone cups, filling them to the top with the batter. Alternatively, you can grease the muffin tin with a baking spray. Optionally, sprinkle some oats or extra blueberries on top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until the muffins are golden on top, about 25 minutes, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool fully.

Notes

*Oats — For this recipe, do not use thick-cut oats. Use quick oats or rolled oats.

Alternative Method:
Combine the rolled oats and yogurt in the large bowl you'll be using to make the batter. Let them sit for about 20 minutes. After this step, proceed with the rest of the recipe as written. See details in the post for why this method is worth trying!
