Equipment

Blender or food processor

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups certified gluten free old fashioned rolled oats (or regular rolled oats if GF is not an issue)
½ cup granulated coconut palm sugar (or light brown sugar)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup smooth applesauce at room temperature
½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt (1%, 2%, or even 0% fat—but I prefer 2%), at room temperature
2 eggs at room temperature, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5 ounces fresh (or frozen) blueberries
2 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease or line the wells of a standard 12-cup muffin tin, and set it aside.
In a blender (or food processor fitted with the steel blade), place the oats and process into a fine powder. If you’re using coconut palm sugar, place that in the blender, too, and process it too.
Place the oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and create a well in the center. Add the applesauce, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla, and mix until just combined.
Add the blueberries tossed in cornstarch, and fold the blueberries gently into the batter until they're evenly distributed throughout. The batter will be thick but very soft.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared wells of the muffin tin. Shake the tin back and forth to evenly distribute the batter in the wells.
Place the tin in the center of the preheated oven and bake until the tops of the muffins are nicely domed, and they spring back when pressed gently with a finger, about 18 minutes.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
