Yoghurt & Oats Muffins with Blueberries & White Chocolate

On Sundays, we like to bake a little something as a treat. Of course we pretend that our baking is beneficial to our health and contains loads of nutritious goodness! These fluffy little clouds of loveliness really live up to being healthy as well!

We have a “treat cupboard” in our kitchen. Is that a thing in your house? This is where we keep all the school snacks, chocolates that occasionally find their way into the house, crisps and popcorn for movies, other little nibbles and of course, sprinkles and baking goodies.

To make it look more health conscious than it is, I also keep the stash of seeds, nuts and dried berries for our energy balls in there. I feel that it’s very well balanced!

This treat cupboard used to be up high where the boys couldn’t reach… only until they started climbing onto the kitchen counter. These days when we walk into the house, the first thing they do is scramble up to see what’s waiting to be nibbled.

Light as air with those delicious pops of blueberry and chocolate, these healthy muffins are just like a happy dance in your mouth!

5. Add the blueberries and chocolate chips and toss to combine.
6. Melt the butter (or coconut oil), then add it into the yoghurt mixture.
7. Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients, and fold in until just combined (over mixing will cause the muffins to be dense).
