Ingredients
Eggs
2 (at room temperature)
Canola Oil
1/2 cup
Cooked Oatmeal
1 cup (at room temperature)
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon
All-Purpose Flour
1 cup
Brown Sugar
1 cup

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners, preparing to create 12 perfect muffins.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are light and frothy. Gradually add in the canola oil, cooked oatmeal, and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until fully combined.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Ensure that the brown sugar lumps are broken up and well incorporated. Add the chopped walnuts, tossing to coat them in the dry mixture.
4
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just moistened— be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay!
5
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter. You may find that you can make an extra muffin with the remaining batter.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. To check if they’re done, insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
7
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy fresh, or store them in the freezer for later!
