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!

Mmmm these look amazing! Blueberry muffins are my favorite:) I always use fresh wild blueberries from my aunt’s camp!
have you been to french meadow in minneapolis? they have a kale caesar with soft boiled egg that makes me dizzy with joy. and as for these muffins? they look delicious- i think you can officially call yourself a baker when you successfully make a bread recipe wok as muffins, right?
Yes!!! I actually have been there! We met my cousin and his girlfriend there and it was SO good. I seriously wanted to eat everything on the menu. I’m demanding to go back when we visit in August!
Liz – I am SO glad you posted this recipe. I’ve been looking for a healthy muffin recipe for the past week or so and haven’t really liked the majority I’ve seen. I like that you used both applesauce and oats 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
There are so many breweries popping up around town it’s crazy! I hadn’t heard of this one, but I’ll have to pass the name on to my husband. He’s becoming quite the beer aficionado these days!
I love both berries, but it’s hard to beat a good strawberry. Sounds like you had a great weekend. I still need to try out the new brewery – I’ve heard lots of good things!
Yum these look delicious. I think I prefer strawberries to blueberries but I actually prefer raspberries above them both.
Aren’t you newlyweds just gorgeous & glowing with pure love <3
Sounds like a fun weekend! We’ve been meaning to try out more local breweries! Also those muffins look AMAZING!
