Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (for streusel)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs, vanilla extract, and the oat-milk mixture. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
To prepare the chocolate streusel, mix the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly texture is achieved.
Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the chocolate streusel evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 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 at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
