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 and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep muffins tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; this helps keep the muffins light and tender.
  • For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • You can swap chocolate chips for nuts or dried fruit according to preference.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, use almond, soy, or oat milk and vegetable oil instead of butter.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
