Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Blend wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine, as overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Divide batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for optimal rise.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for extra warmth and spice.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and tender.
  • You can swap vegetable oil with melted butter for a more buttery taste.
