Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ensuring they are old-fashioned (not quick oats) for the best texture.
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the oats. Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and better incorporation.
- Pour in the honey, creating a smooth, sticky base for the muffins. Stir the mixture until well combined and evenly blended.
- Crack the two large eggs into the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the eggs are fully integrated and no streaks remain.
- Sprinkle the baking powder over the mixture and mix until evenly distributed. This will help the muffins rise and become light and fluffy.
- If using chocolate chips, fold them gently into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: For the best texture, make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats. This will give your muffins a hearty, chewy bite.
- Room Temperature Peanut Butter: Using room temperature peanut butter makes it easier to mix into the oats, ensuring a smooth and even batter.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter muffin, feel free to adjust the amount of honey or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Mix Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the eggs well and mix all ingredients thoroughly to avoid any streaks, which will help your muffins rise evenly.
- Don’t Overfill: When dividing the batter into the muffin cups, fill each about 3/4 full to allow room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the muffins as they bake; they should be golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Storage Tips: Once cooled, store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate them for longer freshness. They also freeze well for a quick grab-and-go snack!
