- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown.
Chef’s Tips:
- Making half your grains whole is an easy Dietary Guidelines for Americans goal to reach with this recipe. The oats in this recipe get you part of the way there. Try using a mix of half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour. If your family does better with small shifts, use ¼ cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour at first. Then, over time, increase the amount of whole wheat and decrease the amount of all-purpose flour.
- If you have non-stick cooking spray, you can use this to grease the pan instead of the butter.
