In case you didn’t know I love healthy muffins! I made this recipe for the first time this morning for a mid-morning snack and man are they good.  I could have eaten the whole batch but believe it or not they are actually quite filling since they are packed with hearty oats.

For a well balanced breakfast these blueberry muffins would be great with a couple of eggs!

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/3 cup canola oil

1 cup skim milk

1 cup blueberries

1. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees and line muffin pans with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, flax, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon.
