    Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins (No White Flour & Refined Sugar)

    Jump to Recipe

    Enjoying baked goodies doesn't mean you need to feel guilty for every single bite that you take.

    Why don't we also give ourselves some amazing healthy treats like these healthy blueberry oatmeal muffins that have no white flour, no white sugar.. AND no oil or butter.

    Phew! That's a lot of nos and a million of yes, of course!

    Healthy Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

    These muffins are not only super delicious but they are super moist, soft and fluffy. You're not missing on the white flour, fats or refined sugar, I promise.

    Let's see this super easy recipe.

    Healthier Options

    Blueberries

    Have you tried my healthy oats banana muffins that ALSO don't have white flour or refined sugar? If you haven't, then you really might want to. I use that recipe as a guidance to this one.

    As I mentioned earlier, in this recipe we will NOT be using white flour, or refined sugar or even fat.

    What???

    Yes dear friend, it can be done and it's extremely easy and delicious!

    Oatmeal Instead of White Flour

    I love to treat oatmeal like white flour in my healthy baking recipes.

    Oatmeal or oat flour is just ground oats. They can be in coarse or fine texture. The one that I'm using in this recipe has a very fine texture, almost like white flour.

    Oatmeal is high in fibre and protein, one of the good carbs; they help in lowering the cholesterol level and eventually prevent heart disease.

    Blueberry Muffins Before Baking

    Make your own oatmeal by grinding your rolled oats with a grinder like this to your desired texture. I love this grinder because it grinds grains so amazing! I use it all the time especially for my Asian cooking.

    One thing though, if you make your own oatmeal and you're using cup measurement please measure AFTER you grind your oats and NOT BEFORE.

    It's not a 1:1 ratio.

    1 cup rolled oats (90 g) = almost ¾ cup fine texture oat flour (90 g).

    Also take in mind that I'm using a very fine textured oatmeal, almost the texture of white flour.

    Applesauce Instead Of Oil Or Butter

    Applesauce is really a magical ingredient if you want to bake healthy.

    Half Blueberry Muffin

    I'm using it to replace fat in this recipe. You won't even know that these delicious and amazingly healthy muffins don't have any oil or butter in them.

    Applesauce is just apples cooked until soft with some water and then blended into a puree. Some recipes call for cinnamon and sugar. I don't find it necessary.

    The applesauce that I'm using is with 92.2% apples so it's barely sweet.

    I really hope you would give this muffins recipe a try. They are THAT amazing, seriously.

    In Summary

    These healthy blueberry oatmeal muffins are:

    • with no refined sugar and no white flour
    • they don't have any fats at all, no oil nor butter
    • high in protein, fibre and with good carbs
    • absolutely fill you more than any other typical muffins 
    • so darn DELICIOUS!

      Hi Bea!

      I'm really enjoying exploring and trying your delicious healthy baking recipes, thanks so much for sharing!
      I was wondering if I can use finely chopped mixed nuts (almonds/pecans/walnuts) instead of the seed mix called for here?

      Thanks!

        Hi Maham! Yes, of course. Use whatever dry nuts/fruits that you like. Hope it helps and let me know how it goes.

      I made these a couple days ago for my family with extra blueberries and they lasted about 2 days. My young sons and my partner devoured them almost before I could have any. Tasty, great texture, and they feel healthy. I think i will make another batch today!
