What you need to make this recipe
Note: You can use almond or peanut butter. I prefer almond butter for a stronger almond taste, but if you only have peanut that is ok!
How to make this recipe
(1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Start by mixing the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the almond butter, applesauce, egg, milk, and almond extract.
(2) Using the same bowl, add the oats, baking soda, powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
(3) Fold in the frozen blueberries.
(4) Portion into 9 muffin liners in a muffin tin. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes (or until tops are browned and wooden toothpick when inserted comes out clean.)
If desired (and not serving to young, beginner eaters), add chopped almonds to the top of muffins before baking for a little garnish!
Let cool a few minutes before enjoying!
These taste perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, or a glass of milk for your little ones!
I also recommend crumbling up and serving over a cup of Greek yogurt for a protein packed breakfast or snack!
Recipe notes
This recipe is SO simple, I wanted to keep it to one bowl so you don’t have to spend a ton of timing cleaning up! You’re welcome!
Here are a few modifications you can make to suit your families needs:
- For nut allergies, swap sunflower seed butter for the almond butter and vanilla extract for almond extract. Omit the almonds on top and garnish with seeds of choice.
- If you have fresh blueberries, feel free to use those in this recipe in place of frozen.
- While I like using oat flour because you can make it very inexpensively by pulsing old fashioned oats, you can also use 50-50 split of almond flour and oat flour for a lower carb option.
- To make oat flour, simply pulse rolled oats until flour like consistency is achieved in a blender or food processor.
