Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your cocoa oatmeal muffins as a delicious snack or breakfast treat!
