Although it all sounds super fun, I don't think I've ever been into them in a way pretty much everyone I know is. I guess I've only made them about 10 times in my entire life and about 70% of that time I was trying a few different recipes to see how I can modify them.
Anyway, today I am going to make oatmeal muffins, I've never had them before, kinda curious how they're going to turn out. The recipe is very simple too, so anyone could make them. One more thing! I didn't have any eggs, so I'm skipping them too.
Ingredients:
Directions:
The first thing you wanna do is to grind your rolled oats, I did this in a blender, you can use a food processor or maybe you already have some oatmeal flour, then perfect - use that! Mix the ground oatmeal with sifted flour, add in the reserved oats, baking powder, sugar and mix them all together.
In a separate bowl, combine milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Preheat your oven to 180C or 350F, pour the batter into the muffin tin and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
So while we are waiting on our muffins to get done baking, let's make the chocolate topping, here is what we are going to need:
Directions:
Mix cocoa and sugar together, add in the milk. On a low heat start stiring it together until the mixture starts boiling up, turn off the heat, let it slightly cool down, mix in butter. Done!
I happened to have some almond slices which I will be using for topping as well, feel free to skip the nuts or use whatever you like.
So once the muffins are baked, let them cool down, decorate with the chocolate syrup and toppings of your choice.
I thought these muffins tasted warm better, but the cold ones were fine too. This recipe only makes a small batch of them, I had 8 muffins.
