👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-slot muffin tin or use silicone liners.

Mix Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Mix Wet: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, sweetener, oil, and vanilla until smooth.

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until just combined—don't overmix! Fold in your chosen mix-ins.

Bake: Divide the batter evenly. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool: Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

🧊 Storage & Reheating

To Reheat: Microwave for 30–45 seconds from frozen, or 15 seconds from room temperature.

💡 Quick Tips for Success

For Texture: If you like a smoother muffin, pulse your oats in a blender for 10 seconds before mixing to create a coarse flour.

Add Protein: Swap 1/4 cup of the oats for a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

Savory Twist: Omit the syrup and cinnamon; add shredded cheddar, spinach, and cooked turkey sausage instead.
