Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 medium apple, peeled and diced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let them 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, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Stir the soaked oats and milk mixture into the wet ingredients.

Step 6

Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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 11

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
