These easy Blueberry Muffins are made in a blender, flourless, and a tasty portable breakfast or snack. They’re meal-prep friendly and packed with protein and vitamins, thanks to ingredients like eggs, veggies, and Bob’s Red Mill’s Rolled Oats and Flaxseed Meal.

Blender Blueberry Muffins

Welcome to muffin week! In partnership with Bob’s Red Mill, we’re bringing you FIVE new muffin recipes, based off of my smash hit blender muffins (you can find the original recipe here.)

As a parent, you’re constantly making decisions that affect the whole family. Choosing real, whole, and premium ingredients to use in my meals for my family is one decision that’s easy. If you have been following me through my main Inspiralized channel, then you know I’m a huge Bob’s Red Mill fan and now, as a mother of two, I feel even better about the ingredients I use in my cooking, thanks to Bob’s.

These blender muffins have a super easy base recipe: 1oz (or about 1/3 cup) of cooked vegetable, 2 eggs, 1 banana, 3 tablespoons of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Rolled Oats and 1 tablespoon of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal. And to note, make sure the banana is very ripe. Not browned and bruised, but ripe, so that the muffins are sweet enough, since there is no other sweetness added.

Blueberry Blender Muffins

Now these muffins are especially exciting, because you’d never guess the veggie, since the muffin itself looks white, like a flour-based muffin! Well… it’s parsnip! Yes, we’re approaching fall and wintertime produce and parsnips are one of my favorite, nutty vegetables that roast to perfection. These muffins are no exception – paired with the sweetness of that banana, it’s a tasty muffin that packs in lots of veggies!

If you’re nervous about parsnips, you can sub in sweet potato or butternut squash here! And tomorrow, we’re sharing our Chocolate Chip Beet Muffins!

  • I’ve made these a few times, love all the blender muffins! Good snack for me and for baby. Today my oven decided not to work, so I made them in the air fryer. 10 minutes at 320 and they were perfect! I think I’ll do them in the air fryer from now on!
