You know that feeling when you wake up on a chilly morning, and the smell of something warm and sweet fills the air? That’s exactly what these Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins bring to the table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Step 1: Soak the Oats
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.
- In a small bowl, combine rolled oats and milk. Let them soak for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Stir in the soaked oats and milk mixture.
Step 4: Combine & Bake
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined (don’t overmix!).
- Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
