How to make the perfect Blueberry Oat Muffins
Time needed: 30 minutes.
- Don’t over-mix the batter! This is my BEST TIP for the perfect fluffy muffins every single time!
If you’re left with muffins that are closer in texture to hockey pucks, it’s almost certainly because you mixed the batter too vigorously and for too long. Be gentle with the batter once you add the dry ingredients and stir only until the flour just barely disappears. Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula and mix by hand to avoid over-mixing. Making muffins with a stand mixer or a hand mixer almost ALWAYS ensures you’ll over-mix, so making them by hand is the way to go!!
- Bake quickly!
The leavening agent in muffins is usually baking powder (sometimes with baking soda), which acts quickly as soon as the liquid and dry ingredients come together. To get fluffy muffins with the nice dome shape on top, get them in the oven as fast as you can after mixing.
- Let them cool!
No one likes a gummy muffin that’s underdone on the inside. Let the muffins cool until they’re almost room temperature before digging in, since they continue baking on the inside even after they’ve been removed from the oven.
- Use fresh blueberries!
Choosing fresh blueberries over frozen is always the way to go. They create such a better texture and flavour and they won’t colour the batter.

These are delicious muffins! I found it made 12 nice sized muffins, and because I made them a bit bigger they needed a couple extra minutes in the oven. I will make these again and again. I am going to try oat milk next time.
