Wholesome Oat Muffins Recipe

Wholesome Oat Muffins Recipe

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons oats
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (215 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the oats and the buttermilk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, stir together the oil, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well-blended. Stir in the oat mixture. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons oats over the muffins. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Remove to the rack to cool completely.
