These whole grain blueberry oat muffins have the best texture and flavor and are always a hit every time I make them! They’re so moist they’re just as good the next day. I love having it in my fridge for breakfast. Also great to bring to a potluck. Gluten-free and dairy-free muffin versions are also available here if you prefer to make these with gluten-free flour.

Years ago, someone shared a recipe for oatmeal muffins with me and that became the basis for this recipe. My husband said they were the best blueberry muffins he had ever tasted and my daughter, who was 2 at the time, thought they were cupcakes. It’s a recipe.
