Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- Cinnamon Swirl:
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a bowl, mix the oats and milk. Let them soak for about 10–15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine the soaked oats, egg, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon swirl ingredients: brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, sprinkle a bit of the cinnamon swirl mixture, then top with more batter and a final sprinkle of the swirl mixture.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute blackberries with blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries.
- These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the batter.
