Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a standard 12 cup muffin tin, or line with muffin papers.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together. Stir in the nuts and cacoa nibs if using.

Step 8

In the same bowl, add the oatmeal, butter, honey, milk, and egg and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 11

For larger muffins, scoop about 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin tin cup (for 9 or 10 muffins). For smaller muffins, scoop about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin tin cup (for 12 muffins).

Step 14

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until the tops spring back when gently pressed and the muffins are lightly golden. Remove from oven and let sit in muffin tin for 3 to 5 minutes. Gently turn them out and cool just enough to enjoy them. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 17

For the Salted Honey Butter, just mix everything together and serve at room temperature.
