How to Make Old Fashioned Oatmeal Muffin

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and ½ cup packed light brown sugar.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 ½ cups rolled oats.
  6. Add any desired mix-ins (e.g., ½ cup raisins, ½ cup chopped nuts, ½ cup chocolate chips).
  7. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
