This breakfast classic comes together in under an hour and freezes beautifully. 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (180 g)

  • 2/3 cup quick oats, (53 g)

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar, (128 g)

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/4 cup canola oil

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 4 tsp lemon juice

  • 1 cup blueberries

  • 1 cup 2% milk

Instructions

  • Position rack in centre of oven and preheat to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

  • Stir flour with oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg with milk, oil, lemon zest and juice in a medium bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture just until combined. Set batter aside for 15 min.

  • Spoon about 2 tbsp batter into each liner. Stir blueberries into remaining batter. Divide batter among liners. (This will prevent blueberries from sticking to the bottom of paper liners.)

  • Bake until a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 min. Let muffins cool in pans for 10 min, then transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Muffins will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
