Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of whole wheat flour
- ½ cup of rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup of Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ cup of chopped nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia seeds)
- ½ cup of fresh or dried fruit (blueberries, raisins, chopped apples)
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts and fruit.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving Suggestions
Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. They pair well with a glass of milk, tea, or your favorite fruit juice.
Additional Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
- Make a batch ahead of time and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individual muffins for a quick breakfast option. Just reheat in the microwave.
