If you can’t find these gluten free flours at your local grocery store, you can almost always find them online. This is the gluten free rolled oats, and the 1:1 gluten free baking flour that I use.
I also often opt for coconut sugar over brown or refined sugars, because it is a cleaner sugar and lower on the glycemic index. You can find coconut sugar online here: coconut sugar.
When baking muffins, you will obviously need a muffin tin and muffin liners. I love using parchment paper liners, because when I use them, I do not need to spray the muffin pan with cooking oil.
How to Make the Best Blueberry Oat Muffins
These healthy blueberry oatmeal muffins are delicious and easy to make.
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Then add the gluten free baking flour and rolled oats to a large bowl.
Next, add the coconut sugar to the bowl.
Add 1 cup of the fresh blueberries to the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
In a separate small bowl mash the bananas with the back of a fork, or a potato masher.
Then add the egg, oil and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk to combine.
Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Combine well. The muffin batter will be quite thick. This is ok, the moisture from the fresh blueberries will balance this out in the baking process.
If for some reason, your muffin batter is extremely too thick you can add 1/4 cup of almond milk to the bowl.
Bake Healthy Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins
Line a muffin pan with paper liners, and scoop the muffin batter into the muffin cups using a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
Top each muffin cup with the remaining blueberries that we set aside.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until golden browner until they pass the toothpick test.
When done, remove the muffins from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

I have not made this yet, but they look wonderful! I was wondering if quick oats could be used instead of rolled oats?
Its my understanding that quick oats aren’t as good as rolled oats, but I’m sure if you give it a try they would come out just as yummy 😉
