Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries

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 tin.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Add the chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries to the batter. Fold them in gently until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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 let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
