How to Make Fearless 3-Day Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variation

You can easily make these muffins healthier by substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. For a berry twist, you can replace some of the chocolate chips with fresh or frozen berries.
