Blueberry Oatmeal Lentil Muffins

Makes 12 servings

Cooking Time: 20 min

Ingredients

1/4 cup split red lentils 60 ml
1/4 cup old-fashioned (large flake) oats 60 ml
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 375 ml
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 125 ml
1 Tbsp baking powder 15 ml
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 ml
1/4 tsp salt 1 ml
1/2 cup milk 125 ml
large egg
1/4 cup canola oil 60 ml
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen berries, do not thaw) 250 ml

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C) and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2
Bring the lentils and oats to a simmer in a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water.

Step 3
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Once the oatmeal and lentils have cooled to a lukewarm temperature, stir in the milk, egg, and oil. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients along with the blueberries (and any other fruits or nuts you like) and stir just until combined; do not worry about getting all the lumps out of the batter.

Step 4
Fill the paper-lined muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes, until pale golden and springy to touch.
