Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins

I used 1 medium banana and 1 large yam, microwaved for 4 minutes(2 times). Then blenderized with almond milk, about 1/2 cup bringing the total volume to 3 cups. The final consistency was lumpy. The muffins overfilled the 12 tins and really did not rise. Tasted great in the end.

Made these this morning and they were amazing!!! I used roasted sweet potatoes instead of canned so I had to add about ⅓ c plant milk. Cut the maple syrup in half -thought the banana and sweet potato sweetness would be helpful. It was sweet enough. They were terrific. Definitely adding this to our morning rotation!

Love these! Substitutions I used: Cooked sweet potato with applesauce to make 1 1/2 c purée 2 t pumpkin pie spice. Chopped apples for berries. Placed 1/2 c mix in a ramekin and cooked 1 min 20 sec in microwave. Perfect 💕 Next time will add a few walnuts!

These are the best muffins that I’ve ever had. I haven’t done them with blueberries although I love them with vegan chocolate chips -crazy about them.

Can this be made into a loaf instead of muffins?

can you use baked sweet potato instead of canned puree? How much?

I made this with 2 cups rolled oats that I ground in food processor, it was course/chunky & I added in. It was not dry and had great texture. Very tasty!! The fresh blueberries popped when I ate it. Yum! Shared with my family. Definitely a fav 😍. Thanks for sharing a great recipe. 👍

I used pumpkin puree since I didn’t have any sweet potatoes. Had I had any, I would have cooked them instead of buying a puree. After reading other comments, I also cut the maple syrup portion in half and doubled the cooking time. The muffins were not sweet, the outer layer was crunchy and the inner layer was cooked enough. If I try these again, I will add apple sauce and use sweet potatoes. I am a little disappointed with these muffins but I think that with a few tweaks they can turn out really good.

The muffins turned out delicious, but the recipe did not work for me without modifications. The mix was very dry so I added 1/4 cup soy milk with a Tsp. of apple cider vinegar to moisten. The batter was still like cookie dough but I spooned it into my silicon muffin pan and baked them. 20 minutes of baking did nothing and I ended up baking for 1 hour and 15 minutes for an internal temperature of 206 F. I used a can of sweet potato chunks, rinsed them and put into food processor, perhaps puree has more moisture, hence dry batter. Anyway, they are a little dense but delicious. Thank you.

These are good but I cannot afford to use maple syrup when baking for several on a tight retirement budget. I know it has some additional nutrients, but it is still just sugar and I don't understand why it is pushed so heavily! Dates are pricey too but at least have fiber and more nutrients so my solution has been to use a mix of jaggery (or panela) and dates, both of which I can get cheaper at a local Indian market. (along with a lot of staples like legumes, rice, and spices.) Shopping in ethnic markets saves me money and offers new adventures into a world of plant based ingredients not often found in supermarkets.

Is it necessary to put in so much maple syrup? Or is there some natural whole food such as dates that could be substituted? I appreciate any suggestions.

I have been making these muffins for 10 yrs & eat one everyday for a mid morning snack. I use the sweet potato puree as I don't care much for the pumpkin. Unfortunately I am totally turned off to the sweet potato after 10 yrs. I read in another comment that unsweetened applesauce works good instead so I will definitely try it as I'm desperate! Any other ideas as to what I could substitute the sweet potato puree would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting recipes, but please provide the nutritional facts for recipes. Would be interested in the calories, fat content, etc. Thank you-

Could I use canned pumpkin instead of sweet potato? Would it still work?

I substituted pumpkin purée to the sweet potato one since I didn’t have any around. The muffins tasted good and were easy to make. I cooked 5-10 minutes longer since the middle did not seem cooked enough.

I substituted whole wheat flour for the oat flour because I didn’t have any. I used 2 microwaved whole sweet potatoes instead of the canned purée. This is my first Forks Over Knives recipe that I have tried. They were really dense. Flavorful but dense. I was not sure if the middles were completely cooked.

Did not look like the picture. How many calories in a muffin?

Delicious. Will these be added to the ap?

I have made these for at least four years. They are probably my favorite muffin. Sometimes I use fresh baked sweet potato and other times I use the canned.

I can’t eat bananas. Can anyone recommend a substitute? Thanks.

These are relatively easy to make, and they're tasty. Thanks for the recipe! For those of us who track our calories, carbs, etc., it would be nice if FoK provided nutrition info.

Outstanding! I make these every weekend to eat throughout the week.

Excellent. Used canned pumpkin and golden raisins. Keep in freezer and pop one out when we need a treat.

Yes, I have always used either organic canned pumpkin, or a can of pureed butternut squash..it actually has less sugar! It's hard to find canned sweet potato that has not been packed with syrup! Also, they are dense and I find that at 350 degree oven, they need 40 to 45 minutes to bake! Also... I double the amount of blueberries, and fold them in frozen- that way the batter doesn't turn purple! They are amazing, and freeze really well! Elise

Haven’t a clue what I’ve done wrong but mine have been in for over an hour now and they’re still not baked in the middle. I swapped the cinnamon & nutmeg amounts over as I don’t like nutmeg but it can’t imagine it’s that! Converting the cups measurements may have done it I suppose, or that I didn’t use silicone muffin cups?? Oven was preheated, didn’t overmix, so I’m baffled ‍♀️ Anyway, at least the bin will like them

Can I sub an equal amount of a different flour? Such as paleo or gf?

So good it’s impossible to eat only one.

I switched the sweet potato purée with pumpkin purée. Very filling and not too sweet.

Can you tell me the calories per muffin? Thank you

I substituted unsweetened apple sauce for the sweet potato puree and it worked great, just needed to bake about 15 minutes longer because is it a moister product.

Amazing!! I subbed raisins for the blueberries and the whole family is enjoying them!!

These are excellent! I used two medium roasted sweet potatoes that I had in the fridge instead of the 15 ounce can of purée. They are moist, sweet and delicious!

I used pumpkin purée. They recipe makes 12 large muffins, in a regular sized muffin tin. If you made mini muffins, I’m sure you would get at least 24. I probably could have made 16 muffins but chose to overload the tins a bit.

Are these mini muffins? It looks like it. Thanks!

Thank you and God bless you and mother Earth for all this goodness.

Can you sub pumpkin puree?

Awesome
