Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.5 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, lime juice, lime zest, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the muffins remain tender.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
