Yield 1 dozen

Everyone gets "the blues" now and then. To bring back smiles, I always prescribe delicious blueberries. My husband, Dave, and I grow the berries, and I often share our favorite recipes, such as this one, with customers at our roadside market.—Connie Sanders, Belle River, Prince Edward Island

Ingredients

1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

In a bowl, combine oats and milk; let stand for 5 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir the egg and butter into oat mixture; add to dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries.
Fill well-greased muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
