Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sourdough starter discard or fresh from the fridge works great
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup white whole wheat flour can sub in all-purpose if you prefer
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or other neutral flavored oil
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Stir together 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup plain yogurt right away and let sit while you gather up the rest of the ingredients and get ready. You want the oats to have a chance to soften up a bit.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
  • Stir ½ cup sourdough starter and ⅓ cup granulated sugar into the oat mixture.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup all purpose flour, ½ cup white whole wheat flour, 1½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Stir ⅓ cup vegetable oil and 1 large egg into oat mixture.
  • Then stir in dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in ¾ cup mini chocolate chips.
  • Spoon into prepared muffin tin.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from muffin tin and cool on wire rack.

Notes

  • You can also use vanilla yogurt. In a pinch, you can substitute milk, but the yogurt really makes the muffins extra good.
  • Use any neutral flavored oil such as vegetable, canola, melted coconut oil or even melted butter. Some folks have subbed applesauce for the oil with good results as well.
  • People have also subbed in brown sugar or honey for the sugar. The muffin base is very forgiving. So, feel free to experiment.
