There are a few steps to making these muffins but it’s not hard to do! And if you can’t get enough of the blueberry and oats combination, be sure to try my blueberry oatmeal! Or if you’re looking for a different fruity twist, try these chocolate chip cherry muffins or my apple blueberry muffins.
How to Make Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins
Gather your ingredients and add the oats and buttermilk to a bowl. Let the oats soak for 1 hour.
In a large bowl mix together butter, brown sugar, and egg with an electric mixer.
In a separate bowl whisk together all dry ingredients.
Combine the egg mixture and oats with the dry mixture. Do this with a spatula or spoon to be sure not to over mix.
Lastly, fold in your blueberries, careful not to burst any of them.
Spoon into muffin cups lined with parchment paper or baking cups.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
Let the muffins finish cooling on a wire rack.
How to Store Leftover Muffins
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 4 days. These muffins can also be frozen. Store in a freezer bag and microwave for 15-20 seconds to thaw when ready to enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins
- Once the muffins are done let cool for 1 minute in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. This helps prevent soggy muffins.
- Do NOT over mix the batter. When mixing in the dry ingredients, mix until just combined. It’s ok if there are a few streaks of flour. This helps the muffins rise and stay fluffy.
- No buttermilk? No problem! Try these vegan blueberry muffins instead, no buttermilk required!

Looking for more muffin recipes? Here are a few of my favorites!
I can not get enough of blueberries right now! Only a few more weeks and we will have fruit on our own blueberry bushes. I’ll be sure to make these muffins!
Yummm! I bet berries are even more delicious when you’ve grown them yourself!
Depends on my mood but overall I’d have to say blueberries!!
mmmm looks great!! I adore blueberries, but only when they are part of something, like in baked goods or paired with yogurt. For some reason I don’t like to eat them by the handful like I do strawberries, but I do still adore them!!
I’m kind of the same way! And I love frozen blueberries on yogurt but frozen strawberries are hard to eat!
Yum! These muffins look delicious!
I love both strawberries and blueberries but thanks to food intolerances I can’t eat strawberries so I make it up to myself by eating ALL THE BLUEBERRIES! Haha 😉
I don’t like super sweet things so this recipe sounds great for me!
What a fun weekend!! and the honey ginger beer sounds so good!
xo,

I made blueberry banana muffins this weekend (via Jen from Peanut Butter Runner). They were delicious! I still have a bunch of blueberries waiting to be used up so I may try your recipe as well!
I love both strawberries and blueberries! It just depends which ones are better at the time! 😉 I am very curious about that honey ginger beer, though…
It was so good! It honestly reminded me of kombucha, which is why I liked it!
Oatmeal+Blueberry is one of my favorite combinations ever. So comforting! These look delicious.
I would definitely love a honey ginger beer. Blueberry muffins are my favorite type of muffin. You just can’t go wrong!
If we’re being honest, I think my favorite muffin is a chocolate chip muffin… But deep down I know that’s just a cupcake 😉
