How to Make The Best Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins

Honestly, here's a very easy muffin recipe. I've been making these chocolate chip muffins to the delight of family and friends for over 10 years. Discovered the recipe in a Gourmet Magazine. If you've never tried making homemade muffins, this is the one to try. Easy, delicious, and not terribly fattening! Only makes 6 muffins. Enjoy!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• l large egg
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Muffin pan - 6
• paper lined muffin cups

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
   Place paper lined muffin/cupcake cups in your muffin pan. Makes 6 muffins only.

2. In one bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: l cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, l teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.

3. Melt 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) of unsalted butter. Let cool. I usually cut the butter up and place in a pyrex glass container (measuring cup) and microwave it. Easy.

4. When butter has cooled, place in a large bowl. Whisk in l egg, and 1/4 cup of milk. You can use low fat or regular milk.

5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture (butter, egg, milk). Then stir in 1/3 cup of rolled oats (I use Quaker old fashioned oats), 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (prepackaged walnut pieces work well), and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. Stir until just combined.

6. Divide the batter into the 6 cup muffin pan (lined with paper cups so won't stick). If you don't have paper liners then you can grease the pan instead.

7. Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned on top, and when a toothpick comes out clean and dry. When done, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Bon appetite!

8. These muffins freeze well. After cooling thoroughly, put in a ziplock bag in your refrigerator. Then next day, place saran wrap around each muffin
   and freeze (in plastic bag). Just warm them up individually in your microwave for :15 and they are ready to be enjoyed.
