Blueberry Whole Wheat Oatmeal Muffins



Blueberry and White Chocolate Whole Wheat Oatmeal MuffinsMakes 12 medium muffins
  • 1 cup milk*
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Blueberries
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a twelve-cup muffin tin and line with cupcake papers.
Combine milk, vinegar and oats in a large bowl
Crack the egg into the oat and milk mixture; add brown sugar and mix to combine. Stir in melted butter.
Sift remaining ingredients into the bowl: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, & spices. Gently fold into batter, taking care not to over mix.
Add blueberries and white chocolate and combine muffin batter gently.
Use a large ice cream scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop batter into muffin tins. Bake until light brown and tops spring back when gently touched, about 10-12 minutes. Note: Muffins will take slightly longer to bake if you are adding fresh fruit such as blueberries or rhubarb.
I doubled this recipe and I got 12 regular sized muffins and 18 mini muffins.


And, here are those mini muffins in today's school Lunch!

I did breakfast for lunch, so they have 3 mini muffins, blueberry applesauce, hard boiled egg, and ham.

There were 5 of us in class last night, woo hoo!  Better, than 3! One of them was back from Tuesday, that's a good sign!  Another person that was there told me after that he had a great work out and will definitely be back.  Yay!  Today I have senior fit, they are a fun bunch!  

My morning buddy Kayle is out of town, so I have yet to work out today, I didn't want to go to the high school at 5:30 am alone, so I thought I would go after I dropped the kids at school.  But as I thought that it registered that the high school students would also be in school, so I don't think I can go use the track.  So now I am kind of lost, nothing planned, ugh.  I think I'll just go to the gym and figure something out.  There is a boot camp class at the Y tonight, I was thinking about checking that out too. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Remember, don't let it ruin the progress you made this week, stay on track and keep focused on your goals!
