Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cocoa oatmeal muffins as a delicious snack or breakfast treat!
