Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Butter or paper-line 12 large muffin cups.

In a medium bowl, pour hot milk over rolled oats, stir and then let stand for 5, 10 min or until the milk is absorbed.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, apple and Chipits Skor Toffee Bits. In a small bowl, beat together brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and eggs. Blend into oatmeal mixture. Pour over dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.

To make topping, cut butter into flour until crumbly. Stir in rolled oats and Chipits Skor Toffee Bits.

Fill each muffin cup to the top with batter, then sprinkle with topping. Bake for 15 to 20 min. Serve warm or cool.
