Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Once the oats have soaked, add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins later if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If reserved, sprinkle the tops with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (a bit of melted chocolate is fine).
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
