Wholesome Honey and Oat Muffins

Saviour of the morning rush. With fibre from oats and slow-release carbs from honey, this muffin is not just tasty but energising. Oats soak up moisture in the batter, making the inside soft, almost pudding-like, with a crisp top.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line muffin tray with cases.

Tip: If no cases, grease and flour holes.
2

Mix dry ingredients: oats, flour, baking powder, salt.

Tip: Salt brings out nutty oat flavour.
3

In another bowl, whisk eggs with honey, oil, milk, and vanilla.

Tip: Emulsion of wet ingredients ensures moistness.
4

Pour wet into dry. Fold loosely until just combined. Do not overmix!

Tip: Rustic, lumpy batter is the secret. Overmixing makes it chewy (gluten).
5

Spoon into cases (fill approx. 3/4).

Tip: Use ice cream scoop for even size.
6

Bake 20-25 mins until golden. Skewer test.

Tip: Inside might stay moist due to oats, but no raw dough.
7

Cool on rack.

Tip: Good warm with butter.

Too dense.
Muffin batter must not be overmixed! Only fold until flour just disappears. Lumps are fine!
