Saskatoon berries are a nice alternative to blueberries, with a slightly tart bite to them. They taste great in this oat muffin recipe.

This recipe made wonderful muffins. There is just the right amount of sweetness from the sugar, which balances nicely with the Saskatoon berries. I made a double batch and it made 24 muffins. I will make this recipe again, but I will add even more berries as I like muffins with loads of fruit. Read More

I rarely rate recipes below 4 but these were just ok. I had fresh-picked Saskatoons and I used about 1 1/2 c. I also added a tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon but they were still fairly bland. To be fair, I forgot to put the brown sugar on top before baking but I think it still would need more. Next time I would make a proper streusel of brown sugar, flour, and melted butter to put on top.

Great recipe! I added an extra cup of saskatoons and had to cook the muffins quite a bit longer than stated (probably an extra 10-12 minutes) and they still weren't very brown on the top and tasted a bit dry. I also substituted half of the oil with applesauce so that may have made a difference. Read More

I used fresh saskatoons and substituted milk with buttermilk and added a tsp of vanilla extract to liquid ingrediants. I baked muffins at 375 degrees instead of 350 for approximately 19-20 minutes. Will make again, thanks for the recipie. Read More

Substituted the frozen berries for fresh strawberries. Substituted the baking soda for 3x the amount of baking powder. Increased the baking time by several minutes. Turned out delicious. Read More

Delicious! Used blueberries and added some orange zest as another person suggested but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Did bake a little longer...about 23 minutes. Turned out beautifully! Will be making these again! Read More

Good basic oatmeal muffin recipe that you could customize by replacing the Saskatoon berries with other things. Read More

I love this recipe and have made it several times! It is great as-is (though I used regular blueberries because that's what I can get). It also is a great base recipe for different mix-ins and flavors. I've subbed in whole wheat flour for part or all of the all purpose four and I've even used the base recipe to make pumpkin muffins that were wonderful. So far this recipe is pretty foolproof! Thank you for a great recipe! Read More

These muffins are delicious! My trick is to soak the oats in the milk for 10 minutes or so. I used mixed frozen berries & added a Streusel Topping. I make some plain as well because my guy doesn't care for berries.... Read More
