    ¾ c
  • ground flaxseed
    ¼ c
  • ground cinnamon
    1 tsp
  • baking powder
    1 tsp
  • baking soda

    ½ tsp
  • egg
    1 large
  • plain greek yogurt
    ¾ c

    2 tsp

    1 c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a muffin pan by spraying the cavities with cooking spray or lining them with parchment paper liners. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg just to break it up. Whisk in the yogurt, maple syrup, almond milk, oil, and vanilla, mixing until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Toss the blueberries in 1 Tbsp (7.5 g) of flour to prevent them from bleeding or sinking to the bottom of the muffins, and gently fold them into the batter.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling almost to the top.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20 – 22 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins begin to turn golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for ~5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

About this Recipe

Craving a wholesome breakfast or snack that doesn't compromise on flavor? These Maple Flax Blueberry Muffins are your answer, combining natural sweetness with hearty goodness in every bite.

What makes these muffins special is the thoughtful blend of ingredients, creating a truly nourishing yet delicious treat. Ground flaxseed and quick cooking oats are combined to lend a satisfying texture and a generous fiber boost, while the use of maple syrup delivers a nuanced, natural sweetness, moving away from overly refined sugars. The secret to their incredible texture lies in the plain Greek yogurt, which ensures an exceptionally moist and tender crumb, beautifully balancing richness with a subtle tang that elevates the overall flavor.

Prepare for a delightful sensory experience that's both comforting and invigorating. You'll bite into a muffin that's wonderfully tender and fluffy, with each mouthful bursting with the sweet-tart juiciness of blueberries, whether you use fresh or frozen. The warmth of ground cinnamon beautifully complements the natural sweetness of maple syrup and the bright fruit, creating an inviting aroma that fills your kitchen. These aren't overly sweet, making them perfectly balanced for those who appreciate a more wholesome and nourishing start to their day or a satisfying afternoon pick-me-up.

Customization & Variations

  • Feel free to swap unsweetened almond milk for any dairy or non-dairy milk you have on hand.
  • Instead of vegetable oil, use melted butter or a neutral oil like canola for a slightly different flavor profile, or stick with the suggested melted coconut oil.
  • While blueberries are classic, consider adding a mix of berries or even chopped nuts for extra crunch.

These Maple Flax Blueberry Muffins are ideal for a grab-and-go breakfast, a satisfying mid-morning snack, or a delightful addition to your brunch spread. Enjoy them warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
