Instructions

Prepare the Muffin Batter:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Add the Granola and Mix-ins:

Stir in the Granola: Gently fold in the granola, chopped nuts, and dried fruit until evenly distributed. The batter should be thick but moist.

Fill the Muffin Tin:

Spoon the Batter into the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups. Fill each cup about 2/3 full.
Top with Extra Granola (Optional): For extra texture and crunch, sprinkle a little bit of additional granola on top of each muffin before baking.

Bake the Muffins:

Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve: Once the muffins are completely cooled, serve them as a breakfast or snack. You can store them in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze them for later use.
