My mom served these yummy muffins to our family growing up. They are great day-starters because they pack a big punch of oatmeal with a touch of sweet with mini-chocolate chips.
Deceitfully Healthful Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
1.5 cups oatmeal
2.67 (2 and 2/3) cups flour
.67 (2/3) cup sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
1.5 cups milk
.5 cup vegetable oil
6 oz. mini-chocolate chips (half of a bag)
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 24 muffin cups. Combine the dry ingredients--oatmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and create a well in the middle of the mixture. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients--eggs, milk and oil. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir just until moistened. Add the mini chips until evenly combined. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until tops are light golden. Remove from oven, and allow to cool for 5 minutes before handling.

These sound delicious! I make something similar and am happy that they are at least a bit healthier than your normal muffin!
ReplyDeleteHave a great night!
Those look amazing!! They are on my to-try!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for a recipe like this this weekend, they look great!
ReplyDeleteThese sound delicious. I think I'll have to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteAre these rolled oats or quick oats that you're using? Also, do you think this is one of those recipes where applesauce could be used instead of oil? I'm all about trying to healtify myself (that's not even a word, I know) after Easter and this looks like a great recipe to try! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI used quick oats and they are delicious! I also used Egg Beaters egg whites. I'll have to try applesauce next time!
ReplyDeleteI made these today--yum! I substituted half of the white flour with whole wheat (I used white whole wheat). They still got nice and fluffy.
ReplyDeleteI also realized I was out of baking powder--yikes!! I did some Googling, and the Joy of Cooking website suggested (for every 1 tsp of baking powder) to use 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, and 1/4 tsp corn starch. Thankfully I had all of those. (We use cream of tartar in our homemade play dough!) I would never know they didn't have baking powder in them. So just in case anyone else finds themselves baking powder-less...that's a substitute that actually works!
