Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped fresh fruit (e.g., apples, bananas, or berries)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Stir the brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract into the oat and milk mixture until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped fresh fruit and optional nuts or raisins if using.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
