Friends, you know how I feel about dessert for breakfast… I mean, really, breakfast is just dessert with a few healthy ingredients thrown in isn’t it? Isn’t breakfast little more than just taking some pudding, cake, cupcakes or cookies and throwing in some oats or chia seeds? You know I’m right.

Remember my Black Forest Overnight Oats, Chocolate Espresso Baked Oats and Christmas Breakfast Cookies??? All good choices for your morning fuel.

chocolate chip buttermilk muffins, the details…

The very first thing you need to do to make these muffins is combine the oats and the buttermilk in a bowl and let them hang out together for about 15 minutes. The oats will soak up the buttermilk and this will result in a thicker, creamier muffin batter.

While the oats soak, you can mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. And, if you’re me, you’ll also use this time to make your first morning coffee. 😉

To the oat mixture, you’ll now add the melted butter, oil, sugar, vanilla and egg and mix it up really well.

Add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.

Scoop the batter into a standard muffin tin lined with muffin papers and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Recipe ingredients, tips, substitutions:

Oats – regular old-fahioned rolled oats are what I use in these muffins.

Flour – I’m a big fan of using a little cake flour in my muffins because I love the soft texture it produces and the craggy, almost biscuit like top. You can just use all purpose flour in place of the cake flour though.

Buttermilk – If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, just make your own, like this.

Chocolate Chips and other add-ins – I usually use regular old semi-sweet chocolate chips, but I really like using mini chocolate chips sometimes too. Milk chocolate chips are also good, or feel free to experiment with other chocolate chips. Adding a 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit is also good.
