Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, mix the oats with the milk, stir, and let sit for 20 minutes. This will soften the oats
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients, flour, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- When the oats have softened, add melted butter, brown sugar, yogurt, eggs and extracts. Stir well.
- Add dry mixture to wet ingredients and mix until blended.
- Gently fold in blueberries.
- Divide batter equally between muffins cups. As an option, you can sprinkle some turbinado sugar on top prior to baking to give the top of the muffins a little crunch.
- Bake at 425° for 5 minutes then turn down heat to 350° and continue baking for 15-17 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let rest for 10 minutes on a wire rack then remove from muffin tin to cool completely
