Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup raisins or nuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Soak Oats: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the milk.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add honey, vegetable oil, and eggs to the soaked oat mixture. Stir well until fully incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in raisins or nuts if using, to add texture and flavor.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into muffin tins, filling each cup evenly.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove muffins from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
- Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Honey adds natural sweetness; adjust the amount to taste or substitute with maple syrup if preferred.
- You can add other mix-ins like chocolate chips or fresh berries for variation.
- Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
