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