Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Muffins
I've named these Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Muffins, but they are actually perfect for any kind of add-in -- peanut butter chips, chocolate chips or even berries.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- ½ cup boiling water
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons 28 grams butter, cut up
- ¾ cup 98 grams all purpose flour
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ to ⅓ cup cinnamon chips or use chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 6 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a large microwave-safe measuring cup combine boiling water, oatmeal and butter. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, thoroughly mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- With a spoon, beat the egg and vanilla into the oatmeal mixture; stir oatmeal mixture into dry ingredients just until mixed Stir in cinnamon chips. Batter will be thick and kind of gummy.
- Spoon into muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes. Note: If muffins seem to be browning too quickly, throw a sheet of foil over the top to shield.
- Let cool slightly. Remove from pan.
Notes
You can skip the chips completely and use fresh blueberries or blackberries.
