QUESTION!! What’s your favorite autumn muffin?? Pumpkin? Raspberry? Chocolate? Or…? Also, who will be tuning in Wednesday Morning for our Autumn Launch?? The Comment section is open below and I would LOVE to hear from YOU!
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup Quick rolled oats
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil(optional)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) honey
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw)
- Combine milk and oats. Set aside for 20 minutes so the oats puff up and soak up some moisture. This is crucial to the recipe! (I usually melt the butter now so it has a few minutes to cool.) Don’t do this the night before as that’s too long for soaking. If you find the oats haven’t soaked up any moisture after 20 minutes, give it a stir and wait 10 more minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. Whisk the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stir a few times, then add the soaked oats (milk included, do not drain) and blueberries. Fold everything together gently just until combined.
- Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Top with oats and a light sprinkle of coconut sugar, if desired. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 16-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 22-23 minutes, give or take. (For mini muffins, bake 11-13 minutes at 350°F (177°C).) Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

An expected end… || LOCKSCREEN
Today is a busy day here at Garlands of Grace headquarters! The sewing machines are humming and my sisters and I are hustling to get your orders off ? but the Lord has put Jeremiah 29:11 on my heart and I have to share!? I am thankful for that “Excepted end” we have in Christ Jesus! And not only an expected end but a peace-filled present(“For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us” Eph 2:14). Because The Lord is faithful and His ways are perfect(“As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him.”Ps 18:30), we can fully trust Him with the past, present, and future. He knows the plans He has for us and these plans are not for evil but to give us a future and a HOPE. ?? May you find great peace in this truth today! ?
