How to Make Oatmeal Muffins: A Simple Guide

Oatmeal muffins are a wholesome, delicious treat perfect for breakfast or snacks. Here’s a easy, versatile recipe to get you started.

Ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups rolled oats

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- ½ cup brown sugar

- 1 tsp baking powder

- ½ tsp baking soda

- ½ tsp cinnamon

- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

- 1 large egg

- ⅓ cup melted butter or oil

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, berries, or chopped nuts.

Steps:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper cups.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir until well blended.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Blend & Fold: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix. Fold in optional add-ins.

5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6. Cool: Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips: For extra texture, use old-fashioned oats. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy these hearty muffins plain or with a drizzle of honey!
