Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 ½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup raisins (or chocolate chips for a sweeter option)

Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Soak the Oats: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let this mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the milk.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

          Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the oats, stirring until everything is well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined (do not overmix).

            Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the raisins and nuts (if using) into the batter.

              Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
