Variations

  • Not into whole wheat flour? Feel free to swap for white flour!
  • Use frozen raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries.
  • Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Swap blueberries for chocolate chips for a sweeter muffin

Why Should You Eat More Fiber for Breakfast?

Fiber is SO underrated, especially at breakfast time. Fiber is well known for keeping our bellies happy, but it does way more than that(1). Fiber helps to slow digestion so that the food you eat actually keeps you full and provides you with long-lasting, sustained energy.

There’s definitely no lack of fiber here! These delicious muffins are full of super nutritious, high fiber ingredients like banana, whole wheat flour, oats, chia seeds and blueberries.

Looking to add more fiber into your breakfast routine? You’ll find it in foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and legumes (2).

Fun Facts About Chia Seeds

In my opinion the star of these blueberry chia muffins is the chia seeds! Chia seeds are absolutely packed with nutrients. Just 2 tablespoons of chia has 138 calories, 10g of fiber, 6g of protein, anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, calcium, and iron (3)!

How To Eat Them As Part Of A Balanced Meal

These muffins are delish on their own, but they’ll keep you fuller for longer with a boost of protein on the side! And if you’re someone who struggles to stop eating when they’re full throughout the day or feels out of control around certain foods, you definitely want to start your day with a balanced meal.

For a completely balanced breakfast, pair a muffin or two with Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs or some breakfast chicken sausage.

    I made these and they are so good! My husband loved them too. I was afraid he might not enjoy the chia seeds, but they add a nice texture. Will definitely be adding these to the regular rotation!

      Yay! So happy to hear it- these are one of my all time favorites!

  2. Mary says:

    What a treat! These turned out quite delicious and are a healthy breakfast or snack option that is very filling. I substituted cashew & coconut milk and they worked out perfectly. I also used my blender for the oat flour, which worked suprisingly well with Coaches Oats.
    Thank you for sharing your recipe Jamie!
