Healthy Maple Oatmeal Muffins
These whole grain Maple Oat Muffins are naturally sweetened and filled with warm spices.
Ingredients
Muffins
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup oat flour (or 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons oats finely ground in a food processor)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup milk non-fat, plus 2 tablespoons
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil or substitute canola oil or melted and cooled unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 egg at room temperature, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumb Topping
- 1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces, cold unsalted
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, oil (or butter), eggs, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into the center.
- By hand, stir the batter gently, just until combined (it will be somewhat lumpy). Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups.
- For the crumb topping: In a small bowl, quickly rub the butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together with your fingers until fine crumbs form. Sprinkle over each unbaked muffin.
- Bake the muffins until golden brown and a toothpick in the center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or individually wrap and freeze for up to two months.
