Blueberry-Cinnamon Muffins

To prevent berries from bleeding, toss them in flour, and then gently fold them into batter.

1/4 cup regular oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups fat-free buttermilk
1 cup fresh blueberries
Vegetable cooking spray

Stir together oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
Beat butter and granulated sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.
Add egg substitute, beating until blended. Stir in vanilla.

Combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon; add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, ending with flour mixture.
Gently stir in blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin pans coated with cooking spray, filling two-thirds full. Sprinkle evenly with oat mixture.

Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until tops are golden.
Cool muffins in pans 5 minutes; remove from pans, and cool on wire racks.
