Steps

  1. In a large bowl, stir 110 g of the oats into the buttermilk and let soak for 20 minutes to soften; set the remaining 20 g of oats aside for the topping.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. Make the topping: in a small bowl, mix the remaining 20 g of oats, the pecans, 20 g of the brown sugar, a quarter of the cinnamon and the melted butter until crumbly.
  4. Make the dry mix: in a medium bowl, whisk the whole wheat flour, the all-purpose flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, the salt and the remaining three-quarters of the cinnamon.
  5. To the soaked oats, whisk in the eggs, the remaining 100 g of brown sugar, the canola oil and the vanilla, then stir in the grated apple.
  6. Add the dry mix to the oat mixture and fold just until no dry streaks remain; gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Divide the batter among the muffin cups and sprinkle the oat-pecan topping evenly over each.
  8. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
