Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (180g) plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (85g) creamy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup (113g) honey
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (170g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Fruits and Toppings

  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons (about 123g) fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
  • Optional for topping: 3 tablespoons sliced, slivered, or chopped almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners or spray it generously with nonstick cooking spray. Set the pan aside to prepare the batter.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, eggs, creamy almond butter, honey, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform. This creates a creamy base for the batter.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Whisk everything together thoroughly to ensure full incorporation. Then gently fold in 3/4 cup of blueberries, saving the rest for topping the muffins.
  4. Fill the muffin pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin liners, filling each one all the way to the top for full-sized muffins. Evenly distribute the reserved blueberries and, if using, sprinkle the sliced or chopped almonds on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.
  5. Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 21 to 23 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean when the muffins are ready.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack or plate for serving. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw before adding to the batter to prevent discoloration.
  • For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter and almond flour with sunflower seed butter and oat flour, respectively.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter muffin, drizzle a small amount of additional honey on top before baking.
  • These muffins freeze well; to freeze, wrap individually in plastic and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
