How to make Blueberry Muesli Muffins

I do love blueberry muffins and I decided to change the recipe up a bit by adding in Muesli.

 The Muesli gave the muffins an interesting texture and as a topping it made my muffins look even more appealing! Wouldn’t this be a great way to start your day?

If you have leftover blueberries, use them up in my delicious lemon blueberry cake.

These muffins hot out of the oven would be a great wake up for your family or friends. They freeze really well, so you can even make up a batch ahead of time and take them out as you need them.

    These are awesome! I substituted a 1/2 cup
    Of sprouted whole wheat flour and mixed blueberries and cranberries and added walnuts. But the muesli was the key to making this recipe a standout for me!!

    These are so very good. But I discovered my vegetable oil wasn’t good anymore so I substituted melted butter. Not too healthy, but insanely good. If you do that, I’d recommend reducing the 1/2 cup by a tablespoon or two. The muffin texture on mine wasn’t quite right. I used a tsp and a half on the vanilla, since I have Mexican vanilla. No matter what, this recipe is wonderful. It has whole grain goodness without being overly dense or sweet.

    Thanks for the wonderful recipe! I was at my lake cabin, and short on ingredients so i googled muesli muffins and found these. I had to improvise a little, using frozen mixed berries and sour milk but the result was delicious and nutritious !

    Anxious to try these. A quick question does 1//2 tsp. baking soda mean 1/2 tsp. or 1-1/2 tsp.? Thanks!

    Hi,
    I’ve been looking for a good oatmeal muffin recept for some time now, so i really want to try these.
    But i was wondering what ‘1 tbsp vanilla’ is? Vanilla sugar? Vanilla essence?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just made these today. Oh my!! BRAVO!! 🙂 I can’t find words to say how yummy they were. I did not have a lemon so we just used lemon juice. And we used Eden Foods Muesli instead of Bobs Red Mill. Fresh blueberries were superb. I am thinking we will make this again this weekend. Thank you for posting this recipe!!

      I wanted to do this post sooner, but you know how life seems to get in the way sometimes. I’m looking forward to next year already (although I’ll be flying in from Florida from now on)
