Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

The go-to muffin recipe you need right now!
If you don't have chocolate chips handy then substitute dried cranberries or raisins or even nuts. You can also use yogurt in place of the milk. Here's a confession... I had some milk that had soured a while back so I froze it and what do you know! I found a use for it right here in these muffins! Waste not want not!

Ingredients:
1 cup milk 
1 cup oatmeal
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

Begin by combining the milk and oatmeal and let soak for 15 minutes.
Next beat the egg and vegetable oil together in a large bowl and add the milk and oatmeal mixture.

Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the wet in two additions just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Spoon into prepared muffin tin.

Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. Cool 5-10 minutes in pan then remove to a rack.
