Corn Muffin Oat Muffins with a Berry Twist



**Ingredients:**

- 1 package of corn muffin mix
- 1/2 cup crushed walnuts
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup strawberry blackberry acai berry drink
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
- Optional: 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, blackberries, acai berries)

**Instructions:**

1. **Preheat the Oven:**
   - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.

2. **Prepare the Wet Ingredients:**
   - In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat milk, olive oil, and berry drink. Stir in the ground flaxseed and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.

3. **Mix in the Dry Ingredients:**
   - Add the corn muffin mix to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
   - Fold in the crushed walnuts and rolled oats until evenly mixed.

4. **Sweeten (Optional):**
   - If you'd like the muffins to be sweeter, stir in honey or maple syrup at this stage.

5. **Add Berries (Optional):**
   - If you want to add extra fruit, gently fold in the fresh or frozen berries.

6. **Fill the Muffin Cups:**
   - Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

7. **Bake:**
   - Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. **Cool and Serve:**
   - Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

**Tips:**
- These muffins are great for breakfast or as a snack. You can enjoy them plain or with a smear of butter or jam.
- They also freeze well, so you can make a batch ahead of time and enjoy them later.
