Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
Moist, fluffy muffins packed with oats and chocolate, these treats strike the perfect balance between wholesome and indulgent.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- Soak the oats: Combine oats and milk in a bowl. Let them sit for 10 minutes to soften.
- Prepare dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl.
- Mix wet ingredients: Stir melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla into the oat mixture until well combined.
- Combine everything: Slowly fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients. Stir gently—overmixing leads to tough muffins.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir them in, trying not to eat half the bag in the process.
- Fill the muffin tin: Divide batter evenly, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake: Place in the oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & enjoy: Let them cool for 5 minutes before devouring. Good luck stopping at just one.
