Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with Canola oil spray or line with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the milk.

6
Pour the milk and oat mixture into the egg mixture and stir gently until combined, then pour this into the well of the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix as this will affect the texture.
7
Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
8
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
