Ingredient Spotlight

Key Ingredients:

• Honey: Adds a natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins. Honey is also known for its health benefits, including antibacterial properties and antioxidants.
• Rolled Oats: Provide a hearty texture and added nutrition. Oats are high in fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.
• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the muffins their structure. For a healthier twist, you can substitute with whole wheat flour.
• Egg: Acts as a binder and adds richness to the muffins.
• Cooking Oil: Keeps the muffins moist. You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or even coconut oil for added flavor.
• Baking Powder: Ensures the muffins rise well, giving them a light and fluffy texture.
• Milk: Adds moisture and helps to combine the ingredients smoothly.

Cooking Tips

1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them combine more easily and evenly.
2. Mixing: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
3. Folding Oats: Fold the oats gently into the batter with a spatula to avoid breaking them up too much, which maintains their texture.
4. Topping: The oat topping not only adds a delightful crunch but also enhances the visual appeal of the muffins. Mix the oats with a bit of oil to help them adhere to the muffin tops during baking.
5. Baking: Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This ensures they are fully cooked through without being dry.
