I’m a baked-good addict. Fresh bread, straight from the oven. Cupcakes, even box cupcakes. Bagels for breakfast slathered in cream cheese or butter or jelly. Let’s not even get started on brownies. When we first got married my husband kept asking why I bought cheap bread. My reason was if it was the sub-par sandwich stuff, it kept me from eating it all.the.time.

Because of this, I’m always game to check out a health-ified bread option. So when Logan requested blueberry muffins, I went hunting for an option that didn’t really end up being a cupcake without the frosting.

Their texture is a bit spongy, which I like. They’re light and flavorful and lovely. It’s the perfect breakfast because they’ll keep you full for hours, thanks to the oats and yogurt. It works with frozen blueberries if you thaw them first, but I prefer fresh ones to make the best possible flavor.
