Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

Moist, fluffy, and packed with hearty oats, these muffins are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack. No fancy equipment, just wholesome ingredients and a few minutes of prep!

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick oats both work)

• ½ cup sugar (swap with coconut sugar or honey for a healthier touch)

• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup milk (any kind – dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk)

• ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Optional add-ins: ½ cup raisins, nuts, dark chocolate chips, or blueberries

️ Directions:

1. Prep the batter base

• In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients:

  • All-purpose flour

  • Oats

  • Sugar

  • Baking powder

  • Cinnamon

  • Baking soda

  • Salt

2. Mix the wet ingredients

• In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

• Add in the milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.

3. Combine wet and dry

• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry.

• Stir just until combined — don’t overmix!

• If using optional add-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts, fold them in gently now.

4. Let the batter rest (optional but recommended)

• Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some moisture, giving a better texture to your muffins.

5. Bake it up

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

• Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

6. Bake

• Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and enjoy

• Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Ideas:

• Top with a spoonful of Greek yogurt and honey.

• Split open and add almond butter or a pat of butter.

• Grab and go with a banana or coffee for the perfect busy morning fuel.
