Pin it
These everyday muffins use pantry staples and a short oat soak for a soft texture without a complicated method.
Why soaking the oats helps
A short rest gives rolled oats time to absorb moisture, so they bake into the crumb instead of feeling dry or separate.
Avoid overmixing
Fold the wet and dry mixtures only until no large pockets of flour remain. A few small lumps are fine.
Summary
Cool for ten minutes before moving the muffins to a rack. Store covered once completely cool.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use quick oats?
Yes, although the crumb will be a little softer and less textured than with rolled oats.
