How to Make 3-Ingredient Blueberry Oat Muffins
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
Step 2: Mash the Bananas
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper they are, the sweeter your muffins will taste.
Step 3: Add the Oats
Stir the rolled oats into the mashed bananas until fully combined. The mixture will look thick and slightly textured.
Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. Try not to overmix so the berries stay whole.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the batter evenly into muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
What to Serve with Blueberry Oat Muffins
These muffins are lovely on their own but even better with:
- Greek yogurt and honey
- Fresh fruit salad
- Almond butter spread
- Coffee or tea
- Smoothies
They also make a great addition to brunch platters.
Tips for Making Them Perfect
Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness.
If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer.
For softer muffins, blend the oats into oat flour before mixing.
Don’t overbake—this keeps the muffins tender.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
