Hi ladies,
I will admit that I made this recipe already! My husband called me a big cooking nerd to already have made the recipe before making this post, but it all happened innocently enough! Because my toddler was sick with a fever, I was looking for ways to keep him happy and busy. Turns out, I had all of the ingredients for these in my cupboards! I used honey instead of agave and used frozen (instead of fresh) blueberries, but it all worked out!
These muffins are yummy and totally toddler friendly. I want to try them again with cherries!
Here is the recipe:

Yes, these muffins are insanely good! Hard to believe they are low fat. Think baked oatmeal, but in the form of a muffin... so moist and they are just as good the next day.
Someone shared their oatmeal muffin recipe with me which was the base for this recipe, but I played around with the ingredients and made some modifications to make it over-the-top good! My husband said they were the BEST blueberry muffins he ever tasted, and my two year old thought they were cupcakes. Sadly, they are all gone now so I guess I'll have to whip up another batch next weekend.
Think of the variations you can come up with replacing the blueberries with raisins, apples or even chocolate chips!

Will most definitely try this! I need an alternative to plain old oatmeat. Sounds great!0

My toddler and I made these again today. Came together so quickly now that I've made it once. We used pear purée instead of apple sauce (the baby has started solids so I was just using what was handy) and put 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead of blueberries! LOL!
Yummy!
Perfect thing to do on a rainy Monday afternoon!0 -
Made these yesterday. They make a good breakfast; I add a tiny bit of orange marmalade and they're great. The recipe was quite easy. I overprocessed the oatmeal, but they came out fine, though the moisture from the blueberries makes some parts of the muffin less solid than other parts. These would definitely be good with chocolate or butterscotch chips, or with other fruits.0

Awesome muffins!
I only had frozen blueberries, too, and they turned out great. I also ended up using sunflower oil for the oil because it was all I had, and as I was pouring it into the spoon is sloshed all into the bowl. Muffins still turned out awesome.
I've always made blueberry bran muffins, but I like blueberry oatmeal muffins better now. Will make again :happy:0 -
Also, as we cook our way through the Top 25, I'm saving the best recipes in my cookbook to make again. I like it when I add a new recipe to my cookbook, and it seems like every single one of the Skinnytaste recipes goes in!
High five, Skinnytaste!0 -
My toddler and I made these AGAIN last night. Third time in 10 days. He loves them. I used one of his apple/raspberry/cran fruit cups in place of applesauce bc it was all we had. Yum.
Should also mention that I've never pulsed the oats, or let them soak for longer than 5 mi uses and they have still turned out well. Yay.0
