Chocolate Chip Cookie Oatmeal Muffin Tips:

Chocolate chip cookie oatmeal muffin is a tasty quick bread recipe that is easy to make and bake. Here are handy tips to keep your muffin tasting delicious every time you take a bite. 

• Chocolate: Chocolate chips are a classic addition to any cookie preparation, so imparting the flavor combination into this oatmeal muffin recipe was a no brainer. Toss the chocolate chips into the muffin batter and coat the muffin crumb with gooey deliciousness.
• Oats: Rolled oats and quick oats are the preferred type of oats for preparing this recipe. Rolled oats soak up more liquid, while the quick oats tend to absorb the liquid much faster.
• Dried fruit: Raisins are complimentary flavors that could be added to this muffin batter. Also consider dried apples, apricots, bananas, cherries, currents, dates, and figs.
• Nuts: Consider adding nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, peanuts, , pistachios and walnuts.
• Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste preference. There is a subtle balance between the sweetness of the oatmeal batter and the chocolate chips.
• Consistency: The muffin batter is denser compared to other recipes, but there is no cause for concern about dry muffins. It’s best to steer clear of using a muffin liner because oatmeal muffins tend to stick to the paper. For best results, bake the muffin in a nonstick pan without a liner. The muffins will brown around the outside edge resulting in a moist center.
• High heat: Begin baking with a high temperature setting to force the muffins to rise quickly. Then, reduce the temperature to result in tall muffins that have a moist center crumb.
• Make ahead: Easily meal prep oatmeal muffins ahead of time for a tasty breakfast or delicious midday snack. Enjoy at room temp, or quickly warm the muffin in the microwave, or toaster oven.
• Storage: Oatmeal muffins stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or up to 3 months when stored in the freezer. Thaw frozen muffins overnight in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature before serving.
