How to Make Honey Lime Oat Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup plain yogurt, ¼ cup honey, ½ cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and the zest of 1 lime.
  4. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. In the oat mixture, gently stir in 2 large egg whites until well combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet oat mixture, mixing just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix.
  8. Fill the muffin cups almost to the top.
  9. Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are light golden brown.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. **Optional Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and ½ teaspoon lime zest until smooth. Add more lime juice, a teaspoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency. Dip the tops of the cooled muffins into the glaze and let them set before serving.
