This muffin tastes like a hearty bowl of breakfast oatmeal in muffin form.
We recently put out a call for a healthy (non-banana) muffin from our social media followers.
Tzippora reached out with this recipe she created for her husband. He has celiac disease and she wanted to create a grab and go breakfast that’s healthy and delicious. The fact that her kids love them, too, means they’re a universal winner.
We tested the recipe and agree – this is one to share with all of you!
Choose any muffin toppings you like. Blueberries add fiber (frozen is fine),
almonds add crunch, and chocolate chips add kid appeal.

When do you add the toppings? before or after baking?
can I substitute soy milk for the almond milk? will it change the flavoring?
Hi. Add them before and any pareve milk works.
Looks great! How many does it make?
We got 16 muffins, thank you for asking!
Thanks for adding! Had the same question!
Can regular dairy milk be used instead?
Yes, any type of milk.
How many calories is each muffin?
Hi. We haven’t calculated this.
According to recipe analyzer it’s 137 calories if you sprinkle total of 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/4 cup slivered almonds on top.
Hey! If you make 18 muffins – using 1/2 cup maple syrup and only blueberries as the topping – each muffin is 80 calories!!
Hi, would half oats half flour work?
Hi. We don’t know, we haven’t tried it with half flour.
What do you do with the egg yolks?
The 7 egg yolks are not used in this recipe.
I know you might not have tried this, but do you think it would work with one cup of eggs (including yolks, not just the whites)?
Thanks!
It has to go in a blender? Or can be mixed by hand ?
Please post more gluten free recipes like these! My husband recently needed to be off gluten and I would like to find more things he can eat for breakfast and lunch.
According to recipe nutrition analyzer if you put 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/4 cup almonds it’s 137 calories per muffin
Can quick oats be used instead of old fashion?
I think quick oats are shredded oats- no?
Finally without !!!
Did anyone try already if this works with the entire egg instead of just whites?
I used bottled egg whites!
How much sweetener should you use instead of maple syrup
Can this recipe be made using a mixer?
Wow ! Love the blender idea !! Sounds delish !
How much sugar can I substitute for the maple syrup?
