Blueberry Oat Muffins

Yum, who doesn’t love blueberry muffins?  What would make blueberry muffins even better?  A little more protein, and none of the added junk. These blueberry oat muffins are healthy, contain NO flour, refined sugar, or additives.  Plus, they took 5 minutes to whip up in a blender and then all you do is bake!  It can’t get much easier than that.  I’ve whipped up a batch and am working them into my meal plan this week.  They are really convenient for taking on the go. I like taking one or two as a snack or for breakfast when I am rushing out the door.

These blueberry oat muffins use oats, banana, honey, and Greek yogurt to give you a fiber-packed healthy breakfast or snack.  These also freeze well if you need to freeze some for later. I like making a big batch, and taking them out as needed from the freezer. You can also pop it in the toaster oven.
