Tips:

  • Using a food processor to blend the oats into oat flour creates a finer texture and better consistency in the muffins.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a sweeter muffin, add 1/2 cup of honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to the batter.
  • For a crunchier muffin, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to the batter.
  • Be sure not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
  • Muffins are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
