How to make Bus Stop Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:

• Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin pan
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sugar-free applesauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons full-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 3 tablespoons raw sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, applesauce, honey, yogurt, vanilla and egg in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 2 additions, whisking until completely smooth between each addition. Fold in the blueberries and oats. Divide the batter evenly among the cups of the prepared muffin tin, with a heaping 1 tablespoon batter per muffin. Sprinkle the tops with the raw sugar.
4. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to let the muffins cool for 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to remove the muffins from the tin onto the wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

• To ensure the muffins are evenly baked, rotate the pan halfway through the baking time.
• If using frozen blueberries, thaw and pat dry with a paper towel before using.
• To make the muffins more flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
