   • Lightly grease 12 muffin cups or line them with baking cups. Optionally, dust them with a little oat bran for added texture.

2. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

3. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

4. Prepare Wet Ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, vegetable oil, and skim milk until well combined.

5. Combine Ingredients:

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

6. Add Blueberries:

   • Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter. Be careful not to break the berries, as they add bursts of flavor to the muffins.

7. Fill Muffin Cups:

   • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

8. Bake:

   • Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Serve:

   • Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve them warm.

Notes

• These Blueberry Muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
• Feel free to customize by adding nuts or a sprinkle of oats on top before baking for added crunch and texture.

Enjoy these wholesome and flavorful Blueberry Muffins as a perfect addition to your breakfast or as a delightful snack any time of the day!
