Blueberry Oaty Muffins

Super easy melt and mix oaty muffins made with juicy blueberries! These are great for school lunches and can be frozen.

Muffins are a great treat the whole family can enjoy and this recipe for Blueberry Oaty Muffins has been super popular with my followers. I like to keep these in the freezer and pop into lunch boxes in the morning. The muffins will defrost before morning tea and keep the rest of the lunch nice and cool!

Made from basic pantry staples with the addition of oats, these muffins are a great source of fibre! Either fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe. I often make these in winter and use frozen berries.

How to make Blueberry Oaty Muffins:

Preheat the oven to 190°C fan bake and grease a 12 pan muffin tray. Then mix together the melted butter with sugar, milk, eggs and oats. Sift in the self-raising flour and stir everything together. 

Add the blueberries to the bowl and fold it together until just incorporated. You don't want to over mix your muffins or they will get tough.

Divide the mixture evenly between 12 muffins pans. The last step before baking is to sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the top of each muffin, this gives it a lovely crunchy topping. 

Bake your muffins until they are golden and cooked through. 

Muffins are great for school lunches or morning teas. Popular muffin recipes on my website include Banana Muffins with Lemon Icing and my decadent Caramilk Muffins.

Common questions about easy Oaty Muffins:

What other fruit could I use in these? You could swap out the blueberries for frozen raspberries or mixed berries. Any of your favourite canned fruit would work in the apple version - peaches, plums or apricots would be yummy.

Do these muffins freeze well? Yes! Once the muffins have cooled completely, place them in an airtight bag in the freezer. If you put a frozen muffin in a school lunch box in the morning, it will have defrosted by midday (and will help to keep the rest of the lunch cool!).
