Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Papaya or mango (peeled, seeded, and pureed)
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Diced papaya or mango (optional, for texture)
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the papaya or mango puree, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans and diced papaya or mango for extra texture.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with a pinch of rolled oats for a decorative touch.

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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your papaya or mango oat muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
