Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (135g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
  6. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for presentation.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before baking to hydrate the oats for better texture.’, ‘Use paper liners to make cleanup easier and ensure muffins release perfectly.’, ‘Experiment with flavors by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or shredded coconut.’]
