How to make blender baked oatmeal muffins

These oatmeal muffins are so easy to make and sure to become a go-to breakfast or treat for you and your family. Here is how to make the best ever blender oat muffins. 

First, start by preheating your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners.

To prepare the muffin batter, add the rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a high-speed blender and blend together for 30 – 45 seconds until they reach a flour-like consistency.

Next, add in the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, bananas, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend the mixture again for 20 – 30 seconds until fully combined. Do not over blend, or the muffins will not be fluffy!

Next, transfer the batter to a mixing bowl or keep it in the blender and use a spatula to gently fold in your chosen mix-in: either blueberries, chocolate chips, or walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups and sprinkle extra blueberries, chocolate chips, or walnuts on top.

Bake the muffins for 22 – 24 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and golden brown. Let cool before enjoying!

    Very good recipe, and easy to make. A suggestion:

    Dump the dry ingredients after they’re mixed, and put the wet ingredients in the blender. Mix those and then add the dry back in. Everything should mix better (I had clumps).

    Also, why is there baking soda with no acid to activate it?

    Texture is great and they bake wonderfully, I just wish they were a little sweeter! I used maple syrup but am wondering what else I could use to add more flavor/sweetness? Thanks! 🙂

      Hi! I always reccomend using super brown bananas along with the maple syrup. They add a lot of natural sweetness. If you want to add a dash more, you can always add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of coocnut or granulated sugar. Let me know what you think!
