Preparation

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle additional oats on top.
Baking
