How long do these Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins keep for?

Though these Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins do taste best when fresh, they keep well covered in the fridge for up to a few days, and freeze well too, which makes them great for a quick breakfast. If you have just taken them out of the fridge of freezer, I’d recommend warming them up in an oven toaster if you have one.

Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

• you can use any type of oil: coconut oil, olive oil or vegetable oil
• you can use any type of plant-based milk: almond milk, rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, oat milk etc
• you can use any type of liquid sweetener: maple syrup, agave syrup, brown rice syrup etc
• you can substitute the ground almonds (almond meal) with ground walnuts
• for a nut-free version: substitute the ground almonds (almond meal) with ground sunflower seeds or use 30g (1/4 cup) coconut flour instead of 150g (1 1/4 cup) ground almonds
• you can use plain flour, wholemeal (whole wheat) flour or spelt flour instead of the gluten-free flour if you’re not gluten-free
• you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries
• if you’re not into blueberries, you can use any other type of similar fruit such as raspberries, blackberries or cherries, or dried fruit such as raisins, dried cranberries or chopped dates.

Ingredients

• 60 g (1/4 cup) coconut oil (or sub olive or vegetable oil)
• 250 ml (1 cup) unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
• 8 tablespoons maple syrup (or sub any other sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch salt
• 150 g (1 1/4 cup) ground almonds (almond meal) *
• 75 g (3/4 cup) rolled oats (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
• 150 g (1 1/4 cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
• 2 heaped teaspoons baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
• 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• 100 g (1 cup) fresh blueberries

To decorate:

• Rolled oats (ensure gluten-free if necessary)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
• Place the coconut oil in a large bowl and melt over a saucepan of boiling water or in the microwave (skip this step if using any other oil)
• Once melted, add the milk to the same bowl along with the vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, ground almonds and oats
• Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda
• Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it’s looking too dry
• Add the fresh blueberries and fold in gently, to make sure you don’t crush them
• Transfer the mixture between muffin cases in a muffin tin
• Sprinkle over oats to decorate
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean
• Tastes best when fresh, but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days

Notes

**You can alternatively use almond flour

Though these muffins do obviously taste best when fresh, they keep well covered in the fridge for up to a few days, and freeze well too. If you have just taken them out of the fridge of freezer, I'd recommend warming them up in an oven toaster if you have one.
