Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Soak oats in milk for 10–15 minutes to soften.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir in the soaked oats and milk mixture.
  5. Fold in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Use almond milk and coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Soaking the oats and not overbaking help keep the muffins moist.
  • Freeze muffins for up to 2 months and reheat as needed.
  • Use gluten-free oats and flour for a gluten-free version.
