I have lots of people asking me to create gluten-free recipes that do not just rely on the gluten-free flour that can be found in the shops. I have experimented with almond flour (ground almonds), but find that the resulting bakes can be quite heavy, which does not suit all baked goods, and also highly calorific. So while I use ground almonds in some things, I do like to use oats in others. The cinnamon in this recipe adds a lovely taste to the blueberries, as well as helping regulate blood sugar levels.

I like to make things in my cupcake tray that are not cupcakes. Often. And these quasi-muffin omelettes are one of my favorite. A good thing to do is to make a whole load and store them in the fridge for lunches, brunches, and snacks for the family to enjoy without having to make them fresh each time. They will keep for a couple of days in the fridge.
