Best Oatmeal Muffins - I Heart Eating (2024)

Ingredient notes and substitutions

• Oats: I haven’t tried using quick oats in this recipe, but I’ve heard from people who have successfully used quick oats to make the muffins.
• Milk: Anything from skim to whole milk will work. Non-dairy milks such as almond milk will also work.
• Oil: Any neutral oil such as canola oil will work.
• Brown sugar: If you prefer muffins that aren’t as sweet, reduce the brown sugar to 1/3-1/2 cup.
• Salt: Or use 1/4 teaspoon of table salt instead of kosher salt.
• Add-ins: I’ve heard from numerous people who have put their own spin on the muffins by adding ingredients like chopped nuts or raisins.

Here you’ll find step-by-step photos showing how to make the recipe. The full recipe is given below.

Step 1: Begin by mixing the oats and milk together in a large bowl.

Step 2: Add in the maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, and eggs until combined.

Step 3: Stir in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated. Don’t overmix or the muffins will be tough.

Step 4: Divide the batter between the prepared muffin tins. The batter will be on the thin/wet side.

Step 5: You can top the muffin batter with sparkling or raw sugar, if you prefer. Bake until the muffins are golden brown and the muffins spring back when lightly touched.
