Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
  • 1/2 cup dried fruits (raisins, cranberries)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Fresh fruits like blueberries or mashed bananas (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution of flavors and leavening agents.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt or applesauce, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and combined.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until everything is moistened.
  4. Add any extras: If you are using nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips, fold them in now, distributing evenly through the batter for delightful surprises in every muffin.
  5. Bake to perfection: Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for ideal chewy texture; avoid quick oats to prevent mushiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure even baking.
  • Line muffin tins with paper liners or silicone cups for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Add mix-ins gently at the end to keep batter airy and light.
