Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.33 cup molasses
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the softened oat mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the muffins dense.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your Molasses Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins!
