Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, lime juice, lime zest, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the muffins remain tender.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
