Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use rolled oats instead of quick oats?
Yes, you can use rolled oats, but the texture may be slightly different. Rolled oats will give the muffins a heartier texture. Just increase the baking time by a few minutes if needed.
What can I substitute for skim milk?
You can substitute skim milk with any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk. If you prefer a creamier texture, whole milk or buttermilk are good alternatives as well.
Can I add other fruits or mix-ins?
Absolutely! Feel free to add berries, nuts, or even chocolate chips for variety. Diced pears or peaches would also work well, making these muffins versatile and delicious.
