Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Oats & Suji Steamed Cupcakes
- For a smoother batter, blend the rolled oats briefly in a blender before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding the baking soda/Eno, as this can result in tough cupcakes.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can bake these cupcakes in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Feel free to experiment with different spices and add-ins, such as chopped vegetables, raisins, or nuts, to customize the flavor and texture of your cupcakes.
