    Frequently asked questions about oatmeal muffins.

    What kind of oatmeal should you use to make oatmeal with?

    Most bakers swear by rolled or old fashioned oats for baking with.
    Rolled and old fashioned oats and rolled oats are the same thing.

    What makes rolled or old fashioned oats preferred for baking is that their texture is flat making for better absorption of moisture. The result is a more moist muffin than ‘quick’ oats would yield.

    What is the secret to making a moist muffins?

    The secret to moist muffins lies in the moisture that is added to the recipe and the ingredients that help to hold the moisture in. Proper baking can also prevent dry muffins.

    To make these muffins moist, we are adding moisture via oil, yogurt, eggs, and carrots. The moisture is held in while baking mostly thanks to the oats holding on to it.

    Tips for making oatmeal muffins.

    Make this recipe vegan by using two flax eggs or another egg substitute for the eggs. Applesauce can be used instead of the yogurt and adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.

    Here are some more great tips for you.

    1. To grate your carrots you can use a standard food grater for carrots or a food processor. It is okay for the carrots to be a bit watery for this recipe.
    2. Rolled oats are used in this recipe as they give the muffins that moist and chewy texture. Other oats can be used however, you may need to make adjustments to get the same kind of moisture.
    3. Avoid overmixing the ingredients once they have been combined. It is okay for there to be a few lumps in the batter as they will most likely bake out anyway.

    How to store oatmeal muffins.

    These muffins should be stored in an airtight container.
    If properly stored, they should keep for a few days refrigerated or a couple of months frozen.

      About Me

      food wine and love

      I am a believer in healthy living and healthy eating.

      When I turned a certain age (we all have our own ‘certain age’ right?), I decided it was time to eat and live in more healthy manner. I gave up meat and processed foods and adopted a diet based upon fruit, vegetables, and simple recipes. Walking, running, and yoga are a passion as are my pets.
