Ingredients
For the muffins
1 1/2cupsrolled oatsor large flake/old-fashioned oats
4tbspunsalted buttermelted and cooled back to room temperature
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃. Line your muffin tin with 12 liners and set aside.
For the streusel
In a medium-sized bowl, add flour, white sugar, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, rolled oats, and melted and cooled (but still liquid) butter. Using your hands, mix this until crumbly and combined. You may need to sprinkle an extra 1-2 tbsp of flour on top and continue to mix together if your butter isn't completely absorbed. Set aside while you make the muffin batter.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 3 tbsp dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup rolled oats, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 4 tbsp unsalted butter
For the muffins
In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a spatula, mix until just completely combined.
Add the dry into the wet and using a spatula, gently fold until a soft batter forms.
Mix in the mini chocolate chips until just combined. Do not over-mix!
3/4 cups mini chocolate chips
Evenly divide the batter between 12 liners. Using a cookie scooper helps big time to minimize the mess. Sprinkle a handful of streusel on top of each muffin.
Bake the muffins at 425℉/218℃ for 5 minutes and then 375°F for 14-18 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, and in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week!
Notes
Light brown sugar - Instead of using the full 3/4 cups light brown sugar, you can substitute with 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup light brown sugar.
