as it is too hot for hot oatmeal and i am still too poor for cereal. we bring you BREAKFAST MUFFINS
1. preheat to 450
2. soak 1 cup instant oats in 1 cup milk for 15 minutes (not really necessary as i’ve found out)
3. mix one egg + 1/4 cup of veggie oil + splash of vanillia
3. mix this with the oats
4. add 1/4 cup of sugar (or more if you like sweet things) + 2 tsp baking powder + cinamon + pinch of salt
5. add one cup of flour.
6. mix and then spoon into cupcake liners or a greased pan (i was worried… but i had no trouble getting these guys out of my non stick pan with a touch of oil)
7. cook until you can stick in a fork and it comes out clean.
Great for mornings when you work the 6:20 am shift at the gym.
variations encoraged. Bannanas? nuts? brown sugar? molassas? raisins? chocolate chips?
oo this sounds like ideal lab snacks for next year. are they at all dry? oaty/branny things scare me a little. i bet they would be amazing with bananas.
They’re rather moist. The oat flakes all but disappear and your left with a yummy cake like- muffin. Not crumbly at all. I’m wondering if i can make them fluffier. They would probably be amazing with slightly overripe mashed bananas. Also switching out white sugar for brown might be really good too.
I made them! But soon found out baking soda and baking powder are NOT the same. blast. But I could taste the potential! I plan to try again!
Baking powder is just baking soda with creme of tarter or something. I researched the difference the other day. Apparently baking powder just has acid for the soda to react with already mixed in. I’m glad you tried making the muffins.
