How to make Blueberry Muesli Muffins
I do love blueberry muffins and I decided to change the recipe up a bit by adding in Muesli.
The Muesli gave the muffins an interesting texture and as a topping it made my muffins look even more appealing! Wouldn’t this be a great way to start your day?
These muffins hot out of the oven would be a great wake up for your family or friends. They freeze really well, so you can even make up a batch ahead of time and take them out as you need them.

These are awesome! I substituted a 1/2 cup
Of sprouted whole wheat flour and mixed blueberries and cranberries and added walnuts. But the muesli was the key to making this recipe a standout for me!!
Chef Dennis Littley
thank you for the great review and comment, I’m happy to hear you had fun with recipe and enjoyed the muffins!
Harriet
These are so very good. But I discovered my vegetable oil wasn’t good anymore so I substituted melted butter. Not too healthy, but insanely good. If you do that, I’d recommend reducing the 1/2 cup by a tablespoon or two. The muffin texture on mine wasn’t quite right. I used a tsp and a half on the vanilla, since I have Mexican vanilla. No matter what, this recipe is wonderful. It has whole grain goodness without being overly dense or sweet.
Ishani
Just baked these today, they turned out fantastic!! Thanks so much for this – 35 minutes were a tad too much for the small muffins but still delicious!
Chrystal
Quick question! How many degrees must my oven be to cook this for 30 mins?
Chrystal
Wait sorry, I just noticed that you mentioned it already. Thanks anyway!
Betty Roth
Thanks for the wonderful recipe! I was at my lake cabin, and short on ingredients so i googled muesli muffins and found these. I had to improvise a little, using frozen mixed berries and sour milk but the result was delicious and nutritious !
Chef Dennis Littley
Thanks for the feedback Betty and glad that you enjoyed the recipe!
Sheila
Anxious to try these. A quick question does 1//2 tsp. baking soda mean 1/2 tsp. or 1-1/2 tsp.? Thanks!
Chef Dennis Littley
its just a 1/2 teaspoon, sorry for the typo
Danie
Hi,
I’ve been looking for a good oatmeal muffin recept for some time now, so i really want to try these.
But i was wondering what ‘1 tbsp vanilla’ is? Vanilla sugar? Vanilla essence?
Thanks in advance.

Chef Dennis Littley
That would be vanilla extract Danie.

Just made these today. Oh my!! BRAVO!! 🙂 I can’t find words to say how yummy they were. I did not have a lemon so we just used lemon juice. And we used Eden Foods Muesli instead of Bobs Red Mill. Fresh blueberries were superb. I am thinking we will make this again this weekend. Thank you for posting this recipe!!
Chef Dennis Littley
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the muffins JH!

A great twist of a perennial favorite muffin! I would love to go to one of those ‘retreats’. Maybe next year!

Betty Ann @Mango_Queen
Great recap! Made me wish we were back there all over again. I never thought of making muffins out of the muesli. Thanks for the inspiration, Chef Dennis!
Chef Dennis Littley
Thanks Betty Ann
I wanted to do this post sooner, but you know how life seems to get in the way sometimes. I’m looking forward to next year already (although I’ll be flying in from Florida from now on)
Have a happy day my friend!

These look wanderful – I really like the muesli addition.
Chef Dennis Littley
Thanks Cher, the muesli was a very nice addition!

I almost did this once and changed my mind at the last minute and put lemon sugar on top. These look fantastic!
Chef Dennis Littley
Thanks Maureen! I would still like to have you and John on a Hangout about Easy Recipe if you’re still interested.
