Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup ripe banana (mashed) or unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup desired mix-ins (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In the oat mixture, stir in the mashed banana or applesauce, honey or maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and melted olive oil or coconut oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be lumpy.
Gently fold in your desired mix-ins, being sure to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
