Directions:

  1. Gather all the ingredients and equipment.
  2. Pour the milk, yogurt, and rolled oats into a container with a lid and let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease the pans with butter and dust them with flour, or line them with paper liners.
  4.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.
  5.  In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together Add the butter and the soaked oats, stirring until everything is fully combined, about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until the mixture is thoroughly blended and no flour remains.
  7. Fill the muffin pans three-quarters of the way full with batter. Bake until firm and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs, 30 to 40 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the pans from the oven. Set them on a rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Then remove the muffins from the pan.
