Six golden oat muffins studded with blueberries cooling on a light surface.

Ingredients

  • 180 g oat flour
  • 100 g blueberries
  • 1 egg
  • 120 ml oat drink or lactose-free milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or acacia honey

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C conventional heat. Prepare the blueberries.
  2. Mix the oat flour and baking powder. Whisk the egg, milk or oat drink and oil.
  3. Combine briefly into a soft batter and divide between six small muffin cups.
  4. Bake for about 22 minutes until lightly golden, then cool for ten minutes before eating.

Why this recipe is gentle

Oat flour is mild and the muffins use just a tablespoon of oil, so they stay lower in fat than many baked treats. There is no onion, garlic, citrus, or spice, and the sweetness comes from a small amount of maple syrup or honey.

General information, not medical advice or a treatment claim. Reactions are individual. If heartburn or reflux is frequent, severe or persistent, see a doctor.

Tips

  • If blueberries are a personal trigger, replace them with diced banana or soft pear.
  • Let the muffins cool for about ten minutes before eating so they settle.
  • Enjoy one or two at a time rather than a large serving.
