Ingredients

• 3 packets Instant oatmeal packets (flavored or plain)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk (any type)
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the contents of the instant oatmeal packets, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly blended.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

If using optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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