Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare muffin tin with liners or grease with oil.

  3. Add 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 1/3 cup oil, 2/3 cup brown sugar, and 2 beaten eggs to soaked oats. Stir gently.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  5. Gradually add dry mixture to wet oat mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full with batter and optionally sprinkle extra sugar on top.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 18-25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
