Whole wheat muffins with oat flour and no eggs but are huge and fluffy still! ohsweetbasil.com eggless, egg free

I was always weirded out by blueberries growing up, and I just know you all are going to tease me but unless it was that little blue pellet in blueberry pancake or muffin mixes I wouldn’t touch them. In fact, I really liked the pellets. Haha, I can’t believe I’m even admitting this. It’s like one of those things that you would have hid as a kid because it would have made you vulnerable to being teased (or was the just me thanks to the mean girls at school?), but now I find it hilarious and I could care less who knows. Plus, I’ve finally discovered the deliciousness of fresh blueberries in baked goods like these big, fat whole wheat blueberry muffins.

And actually they aren’t just whole wheat, but really they are a combination of whole wheat and oat flour. So yes they definitely taste more on the healthy side versus the cupcake like muffins you can get at Costco (love that place), but in a very good way.

Is Whole Wheat Healthier than White Flour?

Whole wheat is a better choice than white flour.

Whole wheat flour hasn’t been stripped of the nutrients and fiber that’s naturally found in wheat, so it offers more nutrition than its counterpart.

Are Muffins Bread?

Muffins are in the same category as bread.

They are a “quick bread”, meaning the leavening agent is baking soda or baking powder instead of yeast.

Can Muffins be Frozen?

Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Cool completely and wrap in plastic wrap or place in a freezer bag.

And just to keep things balanced we went ahead and threw some turbinado sugar on top because why the heck not?! And since we are being transparent, I’ll admit that the greenish insides of fresh berries still does weird me out a bit, but I’m starting to like the berry plain more and more. Still can’t take the place of my beloved raspberry or marionberry though. Ps, Oregon, how can we make a marionberry trip happen? People need to discover the deliciousness!
