• 1 cup  old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup  flaxseed meal (available at natural-food stores)
• 1/4 cup  pecans
• 1 teaspoon  baking powder
• 1 teaspoon  baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1 cup  plain low-fat yogurt
• 1/2 cup  packed light brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Heat oven to 375° F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In a food processor, process the flour, oats, flaxseed
meal, pecans, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until finely ground.

In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, butter, orange zest and juice, egg, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture
and mix just until incorporated (do not overmix). Fold in the blueberries.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes.

*Measure the flour by spooning it into a dry measuring cup, then sweep off the excess with a knife.
