Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly, then stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients (egg mixture) into the softened oatmeal mixture and stir until combined.

Step 6

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy. If using raisins or nuts, fold them in at this stage.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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

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

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