Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with paper cups.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  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
  1. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
