Whole Wheat, Maple Oat Mini Muffins

Just a delicious and simple muffin recipe that my girls love from Modern Healthy Mom

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup almond milk, or milk of your choice
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted (I have used melted coconut oil with success)
1 egg
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease the bottoms of a mini muffin pan or line with paper cups. In a large bowl, mix the oats, and milk together. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then add syrup, butter, and egg. Mix well, then add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nuts if using. Stir until dry ingredients are just moistened. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Wait a couple of minutes, then remove the muffins from the pan. Enjoy!
