• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (any variety)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Make sure all your ingredients are Halal certified to adhere to dietary restrictions!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until mixed thoroughly.
4. Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as this could make the muffins dense.
5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Top Tips for Perfecting Mouthwatering Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Morning Muffins

• Substitutions: Feel free to substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or almond flour for a healthier twist.
• Added Sweetness: If you like your muffins on the sweeter side, consider adding an extra tablespoon of brown sugar.
• Avoid Overmixing: Gourmet muffins have a light texture. Overmixing the batter leads to dense muffins, so mix until just combined.
• Check for Doneness: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on the muffins towards the end of the baking time. Remove them once a toothpick comes out clean.

Storing and Reheating Tips

These Mouthwatering Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Morning Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days. If you want to save some for later, they freeze beautifully! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They can keep for about 3 months in the freezer.

To reheat, simply pop them in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds. For a more freshly baked taste, warm them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
