Delicious Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease 12 muffin cups to ensure your muffins come out easily after baking.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. This will be your delicious streusel topping. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut in 2 tablespoons of butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set this aside for later; it’s going to add a lovely crunch to your muffins!

3. Step 3

   In a larger bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of instant oatmeal, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This is the base of your muffins. Make a well in the center of this dry mixture and pour in 1 beaten egg, 1 cup of milk, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Stir gently until just moistened; be careful not to overmix!

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This will give them room to rise beautifully. Evenly sprinkle your reserved streusel topping over the muffins for that extra touch of sweetness and texture.

5. Step 5

   Pop the muffin tray into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy these warm, and watch them disappear!
