Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium 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, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

To the oat and milk mixture, stir in the brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, or the muffins may become dense.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

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

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

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade oatmeal walnut muffins as a delicious breakfast or snack!
