Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Orange juice
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

Add the orange zest to the dry ingredients and gently toss to distribute evenly.

Step 5

In the bowl with the oat and milk mixture, whisk in the orange juice, vegetable oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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 pan 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 at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
