Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the oats soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the egg lightly, then mix in the maple syrup, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the soaked oat mixture and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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