Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

Since my SIL's shower started mid morning, I went the brunch route for the menu items. No brunch of mine is complete without muffins obviously and I was aiming to have a good mix of decadent AND healthy items on the menu. These blueberry oatmeal muffins were our healthier muffin, while these Nutella stuffed muffins were the more decadent, thank you to another sweet host (Hi Rachael!) for making those yummies!

Now back to these blueberry ones, WOW, they taste SO good. They don't taste nearly as healthy as they are. I'm so glad I have a few of these bad boys leftover that I can freeze and enjoy later on for breakfast in the coming weeks.
