Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

milk

vegetable oil

brown sugar

Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.


These muffins were wonderful!  They took NO extra time to bake because while the oatmeal was soaking I went ahead and measured all the other ingredients out, turned on the oven, and put liners in the muffin cups.  They were absolutely wonderful and yummy.  I will use this recipe many more times.  Everyone LOVES them!  Very moist and delicious!  I freeze them and keep them around! Usually I double the recipe, cut the oil in half, and use half whole wheat flour and half white flour, which really adds some flavor to the muffins.

These were very yummy! I omitted the nuts and added more chocolate chips. Warming them up to melt the chocolate chips makes it even better the next day. Mini-chocolate chips might have worked better.It also feels good to have the good-for-you oatmeal in there. Next time, I would use apple sauce instead of oil to make it healthier.

**** also added 1tsp vanilla!!! **** i think that helped a lot.

Hubby's staff has gotten quite spoiled by all the baked treats I send him to the office with on a regular basis. Tomorrow's treat was to be these muffins. I omitted the nuts (known nut allergy in the group) and substituted some butterscotch chips along with mini chocolate chips. I found these difficult to get out of the tins, as the topping wanted to adhere itself and then broke apart in places as I tried to release them. As for taste, if it wasn't for the chocolate and butterscotch chips there wouldn't be much flavor at all (maybe I should have added vanilla) and what flavor there was seemed to have an almost starchy/acrid taste (maybe too much baking powder and salt?). There was no way I would send these with hubs--if I'm not proud of what I make or want to eat it myself it's not good enough for anyone else. I hate to waste food or my time, but knowing hubs and I wouldn't eat them either, they went into the garbage.  

I'm giving this 4 stars because of the changes I made.  I always try to make the recipe as written, but after reading the reviews I did make the following changes.  I used old fashioned oats.  I used 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil.  I added 1 t vanilla.  I used 1/2 cup ap flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup flaxseed.  I used 3 1/2 t baking powder and 3/4 t salt.  I used miniature chocolate chips.  They turned out soooo good.  They were very moist and I think the topping made the muffin even better.  My 3 year old yummed it right up.  Thanks for a great starter recipe.  

i made these according to the directions and soaked the oatmeal first but the muffins still turned out very dry. they had a good taste but too dry a texture. if i made again i would definitely use mini chocolate chips instead of regular size ones.

These muffins were really good! I made some substitutions because of food allergies: I used white spelt flour rice milk and left out the pecans. They were very moist and easy to make. The kids loved them!

These turned out great even though I had no chocolate chips to add. I added about 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. Love the topping too!

Super easy and super fast these yummy muffins are a treat. I don't think that waiting 15 minutes makes it an 'extra effort' recipe at all. Gives me time to make my tea and sip it.

I especially liked the crunchy top of these muffins. A winner!
