Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour Use regular plain flour; spoon into the measuring cup and level off for accurate measurement.
  • 1 cup rolled oats Old-fashioned oats are ideal for bite and texture; quick oats will work but yield a softer crumb.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Regular white sugar gives clean sweetness and helps with browning.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Your lift agent; check the freshness date for best rise.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda Reacts with the wet ingredients for tender crumb and subtle lift.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances the oat flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg Room temperature helps it blend smoothly.
  • 1 cup milk Whole milk gives the richest result; 2% or plant-based milk works fine as well.
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter Oil makes the muffins moist; melted butter adds flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A simple splash elevates flavor.
Mix-ins
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips Semi-sweet chips are classic; use mini chips for more even distribution.
