Oat and Blueberry Muffins (GF)

2 min read

This is a recipe that I adapted slightly from a blueberry muffin recipe posted on the Skinnytaste blog. The combination of fresh berries, cinnamon and oats is divine! And I love that they’re a gluten-free snack option.

The problem with most gluten free baked goods is that they can be extremely dense. The addition of applesauce in this recipe makes these muffins very moist and light. I find that, when served with a smear of almond butter and some fresh fruit, they make a satisfying (and lovely!) breakfast or snack.

Buon Appetit!

  • 2 Tbsp. Honey
