    Why you'll love this recipe

    I love popping one in the microwave for a quick and easy snack. Considering they only have 130 calories and 2 grams of fat, you can indulge without guilt. So give these muffins a try and enjoy!

    Heather's helpful hints

    When you bake with fresh or frozen blueberries, the color is affected by the level of acidity in the batter. If the batter has a bit too much baking soda, the blueberries turn green around the edges.

    You can balance the acidity by adding in a little extra vinegar (or buttermilk, or whatever acid that is called for in the recipe) to balance out the extra baking soda, or you could even use a touch less baking soda in the next recipe.

    Applesauce in baking

    These oatmeal blueberry muffins use applesauce in the muffin batter. Using unsweetened applesauce is an excellent way to cut down on fat in your muffins. You can use equal amounts of applesauce and butter when substituting in recipes. So ½ cup butter is equal to ½ cup applesauce. If you don't have applesauce, use one of these substitutes for baking.

      Considering what happened to my last batch of blueberry muffins I will have to give yours a try. Won't have to write NO on your recipe, I'll bet. Glad they are so healthy, too, and have the Matthew taste test of approval.

        Interestingly enough, Laurie made these muffins and although she was not a fan of them she said that her mom loved them. To each their own I guess!

      I guess waking up at 6 am for working out isn't so bad when you have these delicious muffins waiting for you afterward! Keep on going!

        I feel like it should take 10 muffins to make it worth a 6am wakeup ;-)

      Thank you Sherri! It's definitely hard beginning to built a routine but I'm trying to stay committed :) I don't think I'll ever be a wake up at 5am morning person! Not even the enticing thought of a muffin makes it worth it ;)

      Sounds like you have a wonderful workout regime going on there Heather! Well done, you are braver than me. I am definitely not a morning person either. Needless to say, your Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins sound very healthy and perfect for breakfast on those workout mornings :-)

      Your blueberry muffins look delicious. I wish you lots of luck with the training sessions, I don't envy you the getting out of bed early to do them. I am glad I joined a gym and I am surprising myself by enjoying my workouts there. Although I think the moment I enjoy most is the one when I finish the circuit. ;)

        Thank you B! I agree with you 100% that my favorite part of a workout is the end :) It can be so hard to motivate myself to get to the gym!

        Thank you Francesca! Probably a mixture of motivation with a little craziness mixed in ;) 6am is early and what's even worse is how early I have to go to bed the night before to get up!
