Instructions
Oatmeal Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Combine the oats and milk in a large bowl.
- Add the maple syrup, oil, brown sugar, and eggs. Mix until combined.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt just until combined. The batter will be wet. Add chopped nuts, if using, and stir to mix.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan.
- Make cinnamon crumb topping (see below). Sprinkle it over the top of all the muffins. Be generous as we all love our crumbs.
- Bake for 7 minutes then lower heat to 350°F and bake another 11-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- Combine all the ingredients, except powdered sugar, in a medium bowl. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter then use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Sprinkle on top of each of the muffins before baking.
Maple Icing
- Whisk all the glaze ingredients together until smooth. If it looks too thick to drizzle add more half and half, if too thin add a little more powdered sugar. Set aside until the muffins have cooled completely.
- Sprinkle the cooled muffins with powdered sugar then drizzle the glaze over all. To make it easy to drizzle, add the icing to a small sandwich bag, cut the corner, then squeeze and drizzle. Let the muffins sit until the icing sets.
