Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup oats (regular or quick)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg Can substitute with a flaxseed egg for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark) Customize with nuts or dried fruit if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly. Spoon the batter into the cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serving
  1. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

For storage, keep the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
