Blueberry Oat Muffins
Description
These Blueberry Oat Muffins begin with creamed butter and brown sugar, combined with egg, lemon zest, and Greek yogurt for moisture and subtle tang. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, mixed with rolled oats to contribute texture and a mild nutty flavor. Fresh blueberries are folded in carefully to maintain their shape and ensure even distribution.
The batter is divided into muffin cups and topped with a mixture of chopped walnuts, oats, and turbinado sugar for a crisp, sweet top layer. Baking at 350°F yields muffins that are golden and tender with a moist interior punctuated by juicy blueberries.
These muffins are suitable for eating warm right from the oven or cooled, offering a balance of soft crumb and textural contrast from oats and nuts.
