Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup Oats (120g, soaked overnight)
- 1/4 Cup Raisins (40g)
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 Tablespoons Finely Ground Sunflower Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Milled Chia Seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 100 ml Milk (use almond or soy milk for dairy free)
- 1 Apple (chopped into small pieces)
Instructions
- Soak Oats and Raisins: Cover the oats and raisins with water or milk and leave them to soak overnight in the refrigerator. This softens the oats and plumps the raisins for better texture and flavor.
- Drain Oats: The next morning, drain the soaked oats using a sieve to remove excess liquid.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180ºC (350ºF) to get it ready for baking.
- Prepare Apple: Chop the apple into small, baby-sized pieces to ensure they become soft during baking and distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained oats and raisins with the chopped apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground sunflower seeds, chia seeds, eggs, and milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fill Muffin Tray: Lightly oil a mini muffin tray. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with a little maple syrup for extra sweetness, especially enjoyable on the weekends.
Notes
- Soaking oats overnight improves digestibility and texture.
- Use almond or soy milk to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Mini muffin trays produce bite-sized muffins; adjust baking time as needed for regular-sized muffins.
- Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds on top before baking for extra crunch.
