Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare 12 large muffin cups by either greasing them with Pam or lining them with paper cups.
-
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, wheat germ, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the mashed bananas and melted margarine to the beaten egg whites. Mix until smooth and well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the banana mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
-
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed. The batter should be thick and lumpy, with streaks of blue from the berries.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. This ensures beautifully domed muffins.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful Blueberry Banana Oat Muffins warm or at room temperature.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze them for longer storage and reheat them in the microwave for a quick and convenient snack or breakfast option. So go ahead, bake up a batch of these irresistible muffins, and savor every delicious bite!
