Instructions
Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup regular sized muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper muffin cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cornmeal, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
In a medium bowl or a large glass measuring cup, stir together the buttermilk, maple syrup, eggs, butter, and applesauce.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. With a wooden spoon or spatula, gently and quickly stir to combine. The batter will be lumpy—do not over mix.
Carefully fold in the blueberries, just until distributed.
Divide the batter between the cups, filling them nearly to the top.
Bake for 17 to 19 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then remove muffins from the pan to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
TO STORE: Leftover muffins will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
TO FREEZE: Place muffins in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen muffins to an airtight freezer-safe storage container or ziptop bag for up to 3 months. Thaw and enjoy as desired.
