Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the large egg, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are normal and desirable.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the ¾ cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool Down: Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For added nutrition, consider adding nuts or dried fruits.
- Reheat muffins briefly in the microwave or oven before serving for a warm treat.
