Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 2 cups milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 small apples, chopped (or any 2 cups of chopped fruit)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts, optional
Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a muffin pan with 12 paper or silicone liners.
Make the batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, chopped apples, and nuts if using.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the butter, milk, egg, and maple syrup until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Let the batter bowl sit for 5 to 10 minutes for the oats to absorb some of the moisture before filling the muffin cups. This helps the muffins have a better texture.
Bake:
- Evenly distribute the oat batter into the lined muffin pan, filling each cup a little more than ¾th of the way. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the muffins to cool 5 minutes before removing and serving.
Serve & store:
- You can enjoy these muffins slightly warm or at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
