LEFTOVER OATMEAL MUFFINS



LEFTOVER OATMEAL MUFFINS image

Categories     Bread     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Quick & Easy     Lunch

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups (210 grams) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (50 grams) sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup add-ins (such as nuts, chopped chocolate, coconut flakes, fruit, etc.)
1 large egg
1 cup (185 grams) cooked oatmeal, preferably steel-cut
½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F, and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and add-ins. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the oatmeal to the egg, and mash with a fork to break up clumps. Add the milk and the butter, and stir or whisk to combine. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and stir briefly to just combine. Divide the batter evenly between the wells of the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. The muffins won't brown much on top and might even look a little anemic, but that's okay. Serve warm, ideally.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to grind the oats into a fine flour. This will help the muffins to be light and fluffy.
  • Make sure the butter and buttermilk are cold before you add them to the batter. This will help the muffins to rise properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing them. This will help them to retain their moisture.

Conclusion:

Steel-cut oat muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. These muffins are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different fruits, nuts, or seeds to the batter. You can also make them gluten-free by using gluten-free oats.
