  • 1/2 cup (113g) boiling water
  • 3/4 cup oat bran
  • 1 1/4 cups (283g) buttermilk

  • 3/4 cup (128g) frozen blueberries)



  1. Set an oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 375°F for 15 minutes.
  2. Line a muffin pan with nonstick parchment liners. Alternatively, you can spray regular liners with oil or use no liners at all and just grease the muffin cups.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the bran.
  4. Add the buttermilk and stir.
  5. Add the oil, egg, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  6. Add the flour; mix until just combined.
  7. Fold in the blueberries.
  8. Scoop batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven, cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan.
