Honey Oat Breakfast Muffins
Oats bring texture, fiber, and a hearty flavor to these muffins, while honey provides natural sweetness without overpowering the other ingredients. Berries add brightness and a pop of color, making these muffins feel especially fitting for spring!
Ingredients
-
1 cup rolled oats
-
1 cup all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat flour)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 large egg
-
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
-
⅓ cup Champlain Valley honey
-
¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½–¾ cup fresh or frozen berries
-
2–3 tablespoons milk (if needed for batter consistency)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. If the batter feels too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk.
-
Fold in the berries carefully to avoid crushing them.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan.
Simple Variations
These muffins are flexible and easy to customize:

-
Make them heartier: Use all whole wheat flour.

Add seeds: Chia seeds or flaxseed can boost nutrition.
