Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips

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 nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the soaked oats. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding the mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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