Description
How to make mouthwatering oatmeal chocolate chip morning muffins with hearty oats and melty chocolate that are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast.
Ingredients
- Dry Base Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Wet Ingredients & Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Seasoning & Star Mix-in:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep Dry: Whisk together flour, oats, both sugars, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. This initial step ensures an even distribution of flavor and leavening for your delicious Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins.
- Mix Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and baking soda until well combined. This liquid mixture will bring moisture and richness to your muffins.
- Combine Batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold until just combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, so be gentle before adding the chocolate chips.
- Bake Muffins: Divide the batter evenly into 12 greased or lined muffin cups. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Your Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins will be golden.
- Cool Down: Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents sticking. Patience ensures perfectly intact, comforting muffins.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your Irresistible Mouthwatering Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Morning Muffins warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or a cozy snack.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter; gentle folding prevents tough, dry muffins and ensures a tender crumb.
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days; refrigeration dries them out quickly.
Non-dairy milk alternatives like oat, almond, or soy can substitute dairy milk 1:1 for dietary needs.
Serve these muffins warm to enjoy melty chocolate chips and enhanced cinnamon and oat flavors.
For make-ahead convenience, combine dry ingredients up to a week ahead; mix wet and bake fresh.
