Blueberry-Oat Streusel Muffins

January 20, 2014 By Heather Blackmon

.

This weekend was a mix of good and bad. The good included a day on the slopes at Vail – a perfect bluebird sky and still plenty of great snow for riding. Kirk and I also had a nice date night at home that evening, where we cooked a seafood stew and watched a movie on the couch. The bad happened on Sunday, when I woke up feeling awful. Coughing, sore throat, headache, and fever. Yuck. After visit to our local urgent care, they confirmed it is not the flu or strep throat, but some sort of respiratory virus.

Thankfully, I was prepared this week and made Megan’s Blueberry-Oat Streusel Muffins early in the week. I made a few small changes – swapping peanut flour for the almond flour; Z Sweet (baking stevia) for xylitol. For several breakfasts, I’ve enjoyed one muffin and 1/2 cup microwaved egg whites.

I love the texture of the muffins, but with the baking stevia I would probably add a bit more next time. I’ve been on a bit of a blueberry kick, so these filled that craving very nicely!

I have really enjoyed having these pre-baked in my fridge this week. I pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm them up before eating. If you are looking for an on-the-go treat, I can recommend this one as a delicious & healthy option. Head over to The Lyons Share to get the full recipe.

And now it’s the time to see what others cooked up for this week’s challenge! In case you are new to MMAZ, the goal is to cook a meatless recipe that features the week’s key ingredient (in this case – oats). preferably one of the recipes created for last week’s #MMAZ linkup. If you join the fun, make sure your visit at least a few other participants to help build our little community and share the wealth:

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
