How To Make Oatmeal Muffins
Step 1 - Prepare the Oatmeal Mix
Pour out the pack of oatmeal into a bowl and add milk to it. Make sure the volume of milk you’re adding to the oatmeal is slightly more than the volume of oatmeal so that it submerges the oats. Leave it like that for 10 minutes. You’re essentially soaking oats in milk, which is exactly how you’d serve it for your kids as a cereal. Oats with milk is one of the best nutritious snacks for kids, after all!
Step 2 - Turn the Oatmeal Mix into Dough
Once the oatmeal has absorbed the milk, add some brown sugar, oil, vinegar and Nutralite Doodhshakti Probiotic Butter Spread to the mix and stir it to combine it into a dough. We’re using vinegar in combination with Nutralite Doodhshakti Probiotic Butter Spread here as a substitute for eggs. The butter spread boosts digestion and immunity while improving gut health, all while retaining the taste and smooth feel you’d normally derive from egg yolk. Conventional oatmeal breakfast muffin recipes use eggs. For vegetarian and vegan households, we’ve suggested a substitute.
Step 3 - Prepare the Leavening Agents
In a separate medium sized bowl, pour some flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and turn it into a mixture. Then add this mixture to the oat muffin dough you prepared in the previous step and stir it together until they combine. Make sure they’re stirred well and all the ingredients are merged together. This will help in the next step and they’ll turn into easy oatmeal muffins.
Step 4 - Pour the Batter into a Muffin Pan
Add the batter to some paper liners and place these paper liners into a muffin pan, ideally a 12-cup or an 8-cup one so that it is easier for you to keep track of how many muffins you’re making.
Step 5 - Bake the Muffins
We’re at the final step of this easy oatmeal muffin recipe. Baking the muffins. Sprinkle some extra oats or brown sugar on top of the muffin caps for extra taste. Bake the muffins for 7 minutes. Then lower the heat in the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan before transferring them to a cooling rack.
