FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes, but quick oats will absorb liquid faster, so the texture may be slightly different.

Can I make these muffins gluten-free?

Yes, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and certified gluten-free oats.

How do I make them dairy-free?

Replace milk with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, but the muffins may be denser. Try using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour for a balance.

How can I make these muffins fluffier?

Avoid overmixing the batter and ensure your baking powder and soda are fresh.

Can I add protein powder to these muffins?

Yes, add 1/4 cup of protein powder, but you may need to increase the liquid slightly.

How do I make them less sweet?

Reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup or use an alternative sweetener like honey.

Can I use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil?

Yes, melted coconut oil works well but may slightly change the flavor.

What’s the best way to prevent muffins from sticking to the liners?

Use high-quality muffin liners or lightly grease the liners before adding the batter.

Can I turn this recipe into a loaf?

Yes, bake in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes.
