Looking for a healthy muffin recipes perfect for a quick breakfast or snack? Today's post has you covered! These Healthier Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins come together quickly, and contain one of my kids' favorite anytime beverages--milk!

As you probably know, what you drink is just as important as what you eat. Beverages can be a key source of nutrition in our diets, and should be carefully selected. As a mom, I spend a lot of time trying to help my kids make smart choices about what foods and drinks they put in their bodies.

These Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins are a nutritious and delicious choice, and my kids love pairing them with an equally nutritious beverage--a glass of cold milk!

Before we get to the recipe, a few facts about milk that I've just learned. Milk alternatives have been gaining in popularity, and may seem like a simple swap for a dairy-free diet. It’s important, though, to know milk and milk alternatives are not created equal.

Nutrition-wise, unlike many non-dairy milk alternatives, real dairy milk is naturally nutrient-rich. In fact, few milk alternatives can match the full nutrient package found naturally in milk, which contains calcium, phosphorus, protein, potassium and B vitamins.

Looking at the ingredient list of dairy milk, a simple and wholesome beverage, you'll see just three things- milk, vitamin A, and vitamin D. It is minimally processed and farm fresh. Many non-dairy alternatives, on the other hand, have 10 or more added ingredients including salt, added sugar or thickeners.

Also, at just about a quarter per serving, dairy milk delivers more nutritional value per penny than just about any other beverage. Fun Fact: the average American household spends about 10% of their budget on food - nearly $80 a week. One year of dairy milk will cost the average family $628 vs. $1,222 per year for vanilla almond milk. That's nearly $600 per year in savings.*

We all know, too, that taste-wise, dairy milk can't be beat! These Healthier Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins use dairy milk (I used whole milk), and they help give them great taste, texture and nutrition! Scroll down for the full recipe!
