These Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins bring together ripe banana, juicy blueberries, and rolled oats in a convenient breakfast. Prepare the oat mixture the night before, then fold in the blueberries and bake in the morning for an easy make-ahead option. Soaking oats with a small amount of cider vinegar for at least 12 hours can help break down phytates, making the oats easier to digest. Short on time? You can skip the overnight soak, mix the ingredients together, and bake the muffins right away.
