Servings 12 muffins
Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice <juice of 1 lemon>
  • 1/2 cup milk or nondairy milk
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup blueberries <save and add after blending>

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 12 cup muffin pan.
  • In a high powered blender, add all ingredients except the blueberries. Pro tip: add ingredients in the order listed here and it will blend easier. If you put the oats in first, it’s a lot harder to get those blades turning.
  • Once well combined, stop blender and stir in blueberries.
  • Fill each muffin tin about 3/4th full. Try to distribute batter evenly.
  • Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until they start to brown at the edges and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly. Enjoy!

Notes

Other Thoughts:
  • I used fresh blueberries in these but I'm sure you could use frozen. They might just need to bake a little longer if you put them in frozen. They also tend to turn the whole muffin more blue - but nbd.
  • If you're feeding these to a kid under 1 year old, don't use honey. I haven't tried it - but I assume maple syrup would work well too.
  • You can use any type of oil you want - I just like the nutrition and neutral flavor of avocado oil.
  • If zesting a lemon seems like too much, feel free to skip that piece. They will still be delicious.
How-to-Use:
Athletes: Highly encourage these to fulfill the frequent snack needs throughout the day. Or, as a pregame to a meal - or postgame - I won't judge.
Healthy Eating: A muffin would be a great snack between meals. Each muffin is 125 calories balanced well with protein, healthy fats, and whole grain carbohydrates. You could also make a breakfast out of it by adding some protein - eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.
Kids: Maybe your 4 year old will eat 3 for breakfast too.... but if they do, rest assured they're getting some balanced nutrition in!
Old Recipe: 
In April 2021, I updated the recipe. But some of you said nope, keep the old one! So here is the old one if you like it better: 
In a blender, combine: 
2 eggs + 2 Tbsp avocado oil + 5.3 oz container vanilla Greek or Skyr yogurt + 1/3 cup honey + 1 Tbsp lemon juice + 1 tsp lemon zest + 1 tsp vanilla extract + 2 cups oats + 1 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking soda 
Stir in 1 cup blueberries. 
Pour evenly into 12 muffin tins (approx. 1/2 full). Bake at 350 degrees for 12 - 14 minutes
