  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Chocolate chips/Chunks (Optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven at 180 Deg C.
  • Grease or line a muffin tin with muffin cases.
  • In a large bowl whisk in the dry ingredients except oats.
  • Add in the oats to the dry mix and give a quick mix.

  • Do not over mix. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Be sure to mix it right till the bottom of the pan.
  • Fill in the muffin tray with batter.
  • If using chocolate chips/chunks add them on the top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes.

Notes

  • One can slightly cook the butternut squash and apple and puree them instead of directly adding.
  • Nuts and seeds can be added in the mix.
  • Chocolate chips too can be added in the mix.
  • One can replace the whole wheat with all purpose or plain flour if required.
  • Instead of maple syrup , 2-2.5 tbsp brown sugar can be used
  • Eggs can be replaced by flax eggs
  • I have used mini muffin tin as I wanted to keep the muffin's bite size. One can use regular muffin size tray.
  • For longer shelf life of 4-5 days it is best to refrigerate them.
