# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup quick oats
02 - 1 cup milk of choice
03 - 1 egg or additional 1/4 cup milk of choice
04 - 2 tsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
05 - 2 tbsp oil or nut butter, or applesauce or mashed banana for fat free
06 - 2 tsp baking powder
07 - 1/2 cup sugar or coconut sugar or xylitol for sugar free
08 - 1 cup flour (white, oat, or whole grain spelt flour)
09 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
10 - 1/2 tsp salt
11 - 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
12 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the oats and milk in a large mixing bowl. Stir, then let sit for about ten minutes.
02 - Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
03 - Add all remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl, and whisk until just evenly stirred.
04 - Portion the batter into the prepared muffin tins.
05 - Bake for twenty minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean.
06 - Let cool. Loosely cover leftover muffins with a cloth towel, and store either on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight. They taste even better the next day and the liners peel off easily after a day as well. After a day, refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to four days or freeze for up to three months.

# Notes:

01 - The recipe works well with white flour, oat flour, or whole grain spelt flour.
02 - For a flourless version, try a keto muffin recipe instead.
03 - Muffins taste even better the next day.
04 - There are multiple options for substitutions to fit dietary preferences.
