How to Make Wholesome Banana-Blueberry Oat Muffins

1. Prep Step

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with large muffin cases.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients

In a mixing jug, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, oil, apple sauce, mashed banana, honey, and vanilla extract until well blended.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a sizable bowl, whisk together the wholemeal flour, rolled oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and cinnamon with a pinch of salt.

4. Batter Formation

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined, taking care not to overmix to ensure a light muffin texture.

5. Add Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly.

6. Fill and Sprinkle

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cases. Sprinkle the tops with additional oats and the mixed seeds.

7. Bake

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden, well-risen, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cooling

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool.

Pitfalls and tips

Ingredient Quality

Use ripe, aromatic bananas and fresh, plump blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

Mixing Technique

Mix until just combined using a folding technique to keep muffins light and tender.

Baking Time

Monitor the muffins and perform the toothpick test for doneness.

Toasting the Oats

Lightly toast the oats before incorporating them into the batter for a nutty dimension.

Bake Evenly

Use an ice cream scoop or measuring cup for even distribution of batter into muffin cups.
