These Citrus Honey Oat Muffins are a delightful twist on a classic, combining the tangy zest of citrus with the wholesome goodness of oats.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Using paper liners makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, yogurt, honey, milk, butter, and lime zest. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
Letting the oats soak ensures a moist and tender muffin texture.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps and ensure even mixing.
Add the dry ingredients to the oat mixture and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Overmixing can result in dense muffins, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Using an ice cream scoop can help portion the batter evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a rack prevents the muffins from becoming soggy.
For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl until smooth.
Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more sugar or juice as needed.
Dip the tops of the cooled muffins into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, and let them set before serving.
For a decorative touch, sprinkle additional lime zest on top of the glaze.
