Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

Since picking fresh blueberries last week, Josh has requested in no uncertain terms that I keep these muffins constantly in stock.  I make them frequently anyway with frozen berries but fresh ones just make them irresistible. My husband, who has two degrees mind you, then complains about burning his mouth because he can't even let the poor muffins cool.  I can't really blame him though.  When the smell of fresh baked blueberry muffins fills your house, all self-control is lost.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.


1 egg
1 c plain, nonfat yogurt
1/4 c oil or softened margarine
1 1/4 c whole wheat flour
1 cup quick oatmeal
1/2 c agave nectar or honey
1/4 c brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 c fresh blueberries (or thawed and drained if previously frozen)


Combine everything BUT the blueberries.



Then gently fold in the blueberries.


Divide the batter among 12 muffin cups.  The batter doesn't rise much so fill them to the top.


Cook for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.


Unlike frozen ones, fresh blueberries burst a bit in the muffins.  That just means there's too much delicious for the muffin to hold, nothing to worry about.
