🥣 What You’ll Need
📋 Ingredients
(Makes 12 muffins)
| Regular Version | Keto Version |
|---|---|
| 1 cup rolled oats | ¾ cup oat fiber |
| 1 cup flour | 1 cup almond flour |
| ½ cup honey/maple syrup | ⅓ cup monk fruit/allulose |
| 2 eggs | 2 eggs |
| 1 cup milk | 1 cup unsweetened almond milk |
| 1 tsp baking powder | 1 tsp baking powder |
| 1 tsp vanilla extract | 1 tsp vanilla extract |
Optional Add-Ins:
- Blueberries 🫐 (½ cup)
- Grated carrots 🥕 (⅓ cup)
- Dark chocolate chips 🍫 (¼ cup)
🧰 Tools
- Muffin tin + liners
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or fork
- Ice cream scoop (for even batter!)
👩🍳 Let’s Get Baking!
🕒 Step 1: Prep Work (10 mins)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix dry stuff: In a bowl, combine oats/oat fiber, flour/almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix wet stuff: In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, honey/sweetener, and vanilla.
Pro Tip: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Soaking oats makes muffins fluffier!
🔥 Step 2: Bake Time (18-22 mins)
- Pour batter into muffin liners (fill ¾ full).
- Bake until golden. How to test? Stick a toothpick in – if it comes out clean, they’re done!
- Cool for 10 minutes.
Wait, no muffin tin? Use oven-safe cups or shape into mini loaves!
