- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 Tbsp butter softened

Instructions
To make the Strawberry Oat Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, or add paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, oats, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry, and stir just until incorporated. Fold strawberries into mixture until combined.
- Portion batter equally between prepared muffin cups. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the Strawberry-Orange Compote:
- While muffins are baking, add all compote ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Once mixture begins to simmer, turn down heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10–12 minutes, stirring every so often. As strawberries cook and soften, mash fruit with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook until mixture starts to thicken.
- Remove from heat, and allow compote to cool slightly. Spoon desired amount of compote over Strawberry Oat Muffins.
- Transfer remaining compote to a small jar. Store in refrigerator up to one week.
