Blueberry Power Muffins

Hi! It's been a while....
I have been cooking and creating, but life has been so busy that I haven't been documenting anything.

I've been on a smoothie kick recently after my roommate was given not one, but two, Ninja Bullet blenders. We have so many bags of frozen fruits in our freezer, I thought I would put some of them to a different use. These muffins have extra protein from the oats and Greek Yogurt.

You will need:
2 Cups of Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup of Oats
2/3 cups of sugar
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of salt
1.5 cups of plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp of honey
2 large eggs, beaten
4 tbsp of unsalted butter
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a muffin tin. I used my mini muffin tin for these (makes about 32 muffins). Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine all wet ingredients in another bowl, and carefully mix the two mixture together. Fold in blueberries. Put into the muffin tin and bake for 20 minutes. Place on a cooling rack and enjoy!!!
