Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, cubed
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high initial heat helps the muffins rise quickly, creating those iconic bakery domes. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease them lightly with coconut oil. In a small bowl, prepare the streusel by mixing the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to work the cold butter into the mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. Set this aside in the refrigerator to keep the butter cold while you mix the batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, applesauce, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the cold streusel crumb generously over the top of each muffin. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This allows the structure to set so they don’t fall apart when you remove them. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling, or serve them immediately while they are still warm. The chocolate chips will be gooey, and the blueberries will be jammy and hot. Enjoy these as a grab-and-go breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack with a cup of coffee.
