  3. In another bowl, combine 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add optional mix-ins like cinnamon or chocolate chips.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
