Guys, I’m not ready for fall. And maybe that shows with my recipes and food content on SM, but the same thing happens every year – come end of August I see food bloggers pushing out apple and baking recipes and people start going crazy for all things pumpkin and sweater talk. Don’t get me wrong I love fall, but PREMATURE! It’s still 90 degrees and pumpkins aren’t even in season yet! Sure, I know it’s coming up soon, but it’s this ‘end of summer’ time of year that I love to soak in before time gets swept away with the short and cold days of fall/winter. And it’s just now that summer’s scorching hot temps start making their decline into the more comfortable (IMO) 70s, and markets continue to boom with peak summer produce. It’s the perfect set of circumstances! Amazing weather + all kinds of tasty food = my personal heaven. So with that soap box moment said, I’d like to introduce you to my end of summer/pre-fall Whole Grain Blueberry Coffeecake Muffins.
I’m always on the hunt for a filling muffin that tastes good. So right off the bat I knew I wanted to use a combo of nutritionally dense and fiber rich whole grain flours for this recipe. The problem is baking with whole grains sometimes yields a dry and dense product. BUT with the right amount of the right ingredients it’s very possible to get a perfectly tender and hearty muffin.
These muffins are the most perfect and scrumptious way to use up those in season blueberries. Blueberries not in season? No worries! You can always use frozen blueberries if fresh ones aren’t in season (if seasonal baking is your thing).

Ingredients
For the muffins:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. spelt flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. canola oil
1/2 c. maple syrup
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. + 1/4 c. fresh blueberries
For the crumb topping:
3/4 c. spelt flour
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Prep a 12 cup muffin tin. Either line with muffin liners and spray with nonstick baking spray or simply spray the muffin tin with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
- To make the crumb topping, combine the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is combined and clumps together. Set aside.
- To make the muffins whisk together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add in 1 cup blueberries and gently toss to coat. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the canola oil, maple syrup, milk, egg and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined.
- Divide batter between muffin cups, filling to about just the brim of each cup. Top each muffin with a large spoonful of the crumb topping. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean, rotating halfway through. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 – 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
