Hearty strawberry blueberry banana oat muffins are a satisfying breakfast with your morning cup of coffee.
I love making banana muffins. These muffins are a spin-off from one of my favorite strawberry banana muffins recipe. I added blueberries and changed the base of the recipe to use more oats and less flour. They turned out beautifully.
A little heartier than the others, these create a nice chewy texture that slows you down forcing you to enjoy the flavor of each bite. You can sip your coffee slowly with these.
This muffin recipe is a nice breakfast for the warmer months since we're using spring/summer berries. Host a morning brunch and serve with refreshingly cold iced coffee.
Lately, the days have been crazy with neighbors not loving neighbors. Let's change that! It can start with reaching out and inviting a new friend over for muffins and tea. 🙂
