Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Milk (any kind)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
