Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffin Tips:
Brown sugar and maple oatmeal muffins will taste much better if you follow these handy tips. Level up your cooking skills and make your fresh baked muffins even more enjoyable every time you take a bite.
- Sweetener: Sweeten the fresh baked oatmeal muffins as needed by adjusting the maple syrup and brown sugar. Adjust the level of sweetness to suit your tastebuds, however I should mention that this recipe is not overly sweet. There is a nice flavor balance between the sweetness and the hearty taste of oats. If you prefer muffins that aren’t as sweet, reduce the brown sugar to ½ cup or ⅓ cup.
- Liquid: Any type of milk will do. Make it dairy-free by using a nondairy milk alternative such as unsweetened almond milk.
- Oil: Any neutral oil such as canola oil, ghee or even melted butter will work.
- Oats: Rolled oats are the type of oats used when making this recipe. However, quick oat could do, but the smaller bits and pieces will soak up the liquid quicker so reduce the soaking time to only 5 minutes.
- Dried fruit: Cranberries, dates, figs, and raisin are some options to consider adding to this simple oatmeal muffin recipe.
- Nuts: Walnuts and pecans pair well with the taste of maple syrup. However, you could your favorite nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, or peanuts.
- Consistency: The recipe is doughier than others, but there is no concern over the muffins being dry. It’s best to avoid using using a muffin liner because it’s been my experience that the muffin sticks to the paper. Bake the muffin in a nonstick pan without a liner, this results in a crispy outside with a moist center.
- High heat: Begin the bake with high heat to force the muffin to spring up quickly. Then, reduce the heat to bake the inside of the muffin. The results are a tall muffin that has a moist center.
- Make ahead: Meal prep ahead of time for a tasty breakfast muffin or delicious afternoon snack. Quickly reheat the muffin in the microwave, or warmup in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
- Storage: Oatmeal muffins stay fresh for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the frozen muffin in the refrigerator overnight, then bring to room temperature before eating.
