Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries, thawed and drained)

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Soak the Oats: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. This soaking process softens the oats and aids in creating a fluffy texture for your muffins.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

        Combine Oat and Wet Mixtures: Add the soaked oat mixture to the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

          Whisk Together the Dry Ingredients: In a third bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

            Incorporate All Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing until no traces of dry flour remain. Take care not to overmix, as this could result in dense muffins. Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.

              Fill the Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter, allowing room for the muffins to rise.

                Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. The muffins are done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They’re delightful served warm or at room temperature!
