How to Make Healthy Oatmeal Muffins

These cinnamon oatmeal muffins are a welcome reminder that breakfast can offer home-baked satisfaction and be healthy at the same time.

The Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour. My go-to for healthy muffin recipes. Whole wheat flour offers more fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants than all-purpose flour. It’s an effortless way to up the nutritional content of your everyday cooking and baking.

Rolled Oats. Provides texture and structure to the muffins as they bake. (They’re also my secret to these awesome Healthy Blueberry Muffins.)Oat Flour. Adds a wonderful nuttiness and chew to the muffins.

Baking Powder. Serves as the leavener that gives these muffins their perfect rise. You will not use baking soda for these muffins.Milk. For these easy oatmeal muffins, I went with skim milk but you may use an equal amount of plain unsweetened soy, almond milk, or oat milk.Maple Syrup. Naturally sweetens these muffins and infuses them with lovely maple flavor in every bite.

Coconut Oil. Keeps the muffins moist and tender as they bake.

Eggs. Adds softness and provides structure to these healthy oatmeal muffins. Cinnamon + Nutmeg. Perfectly spices the muffins and makes your kitchen smell divine. (These Gingerbread Muffins are another spiced muffin favorite.)Vanilla Extract. Pairs with the warm cinnamon and nutty oats.Crumb Topping. Because you know you love it! A light sprinkle of an easy crumb topping, made with a brown sugar, butter, and flour blend, finishes each muffin with just the right amount of decadence.
