Super easy melt and mix Oaty Muffins with 3 different flavour combinations: blueberry, chocolate chunk or apple and cinnamon.

Often in these winter months we spend lots of time with the kids indoors. A great way to entertain your little ones, especially during the school holidays, is to get them into the kitchen. Why not try this super recipe for Easy Oaty Muffins. There are 3 different flavours that you can create at home so you or the kids can choose your favourite.

Most of these ingredients are pantry staples, so hopefully you can get straight into these without visiting the shops.

How to make oaty muffins:

First of all mix together the melted butter with sugar, milk, eggs and oats. Sift in the self-raising flour and stir everything together. Now it is time to choose which flavour muffins you want to make? Blueberry, apple and cinnamon or chocolate chunk. Add your choice to the bowl and fold it together until just incorporated, you don't want to over mix your muffins or they will get tough.

If you choose the chocolate chunk option I like to add a few extra pieces to the top of each muffin. Below is a photo of Archie adding the extra chocolate, I am sure a few missed the muffins and went into his mouth.

The last step before baking is to sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon over the top of each muffin, this gives it a lovely crunchy topping.

Bake your muffins until they are golden and cooked through. If you want you could make a double batch to freeze some from later. Perfect for school lunches, simply freeze muffins once they have completely cooled down in a ziplock bag or airtight container.

My kids love baking with me in the kitchen and this recipe is made in one bowl so not much clean up! If you make it be sure to send me a photo on Facebook or Instagram and let me know how your muffins turned out.

Muffins are great for school lunches or morning teas. Popular muffin recipes on my website include Banana Muffins with Lemon Icing and my decadent Caramilk Muffins.

Common questions about easy Oaty Muffins:

What other fruit could I use in these? You could swap out the blueberries for frozen raspberries or mixed berries. Any of your favourite canned fruit would work in the apple version - peaches, plums or apricots would be yummy.

Do these muffins freeze well? Yes! Once the muffins have cooled completely, place they in an airtight bag in the freezer. If you put a frozen muffin in a school lunch box in the morning, it will have defrosted by midday (and will help to keep the rest of the lunch cool!).
