Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk
- 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 Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let them soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
To the oat and milk mixture, stir in the brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, or the muffins may become dense.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade oatmeal walnut muffins as a delicious breakfast or snack!
