Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 80 grams quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup 240 ml orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon 4 grams grated orange zest
  • 1 cup 240 ml canola oil
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature, beaten
  • 3 cups 360 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 200 grams sugar
  • 4 teaspoons 16 grams baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon 5 grams salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 grams baking soda
  • 3 to 4 cups 450-600 grams fresh blueberries
For the topping:
  • 1/2 cup 60 grams finely chopped nuts
  • 3 tablespoons 36 grams sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 grams ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, orange juice, and orange zest. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil and eggs until well combined.
  4. In a third bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  5. Add the wet ingredients (oat mixture and oil-egg mixture) to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Don't overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among 24 paper-lined muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients (chopped nuts, sugar, and cinnamon). Sprinkle the topping over the muffin batter.
  9. Bake the muffins for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy your delicious homemade blueberry orange muffins!
