Ingredients
1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
⅓ cup (80ml) maple syrup
⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional add-ins: ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), ½ cup dried cranberries or raisins, a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Soak oats: In a medium bowl, combine oats and milk. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to soften.
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease it well.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
- Mix wet ingredients: In the oat mixture, whisk in eggs, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until combined.
- Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full).
- Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
You can add nuts, dried fruit, or spices to customize the recipe to your liking.
If using quick oats, the texture may vary, but they can still be used as a substitute for old-fashioned rolled oats.
