Categories     Breakfast or Brunch

Time 25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup white or brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 scant teaspoon salt
up to cup add-ins (such as nuts, dried fruit, chopped chocolate, coconut flakes, fruit, etc.)
1 large egg
1 cup cooked oatmeal, preferably steel-cut
1/4 cup oil
about 1/3 to 1/2 cup whole milk
Cinnamon Sugar for topping, optional

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 any add-ins. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the oatmeal to the egg, and mash with a fork to break up any clumps. Add the oil, then 1/3 cup milk. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and stir briefly to just combine. If batter is too thick, add a little more milk as needed to thin. Mixture should be quite thick but not so thick that it is difficult to stir in the dry ingredients.
  • Using a 1/3 cup scoop, divide the batter evenly between the wells of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of muffins if desired.
  • 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 if the cinnamon sugar isn't used.
  • Note: It's always going to be just a bit of a guess as to how much milk these muffins need and that depends how thick the oatmeal you use happens to be.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack: This will help to prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These leftover oatmeal muffins are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover oatmeal. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their oatmeal!
