How to Make Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Spray the pan and the liners with non-stick cooking spray.
For the Muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the avocado oil and honey until well combined. Next, beat in the egg and the egg yolk until well combined. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract and sour cream. Add the flour mixture until combined (the batter will be thick). In another bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom.
Add the blueberries to the batter and fold gently with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix! Divide the batter evenly into each cup in the prepared muffin tin, filling them almost full, and lightly sprinkle turbinado sugar among the muffins. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes more, or until the muffins are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before turning it out.
Run a knife around the edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary, then transfer the Whole Wheat blueberry muffins to a rack to cool completely. Brush them with the Honey glaze. Serve immediately or store the cooled Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. In a small saucepan, place the honey and the water; simmer until the honey dissolves completely and thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract; let it cool.
